#3 Derrick Rose

After suffering a series of injuries earlier in his career, Derrick Rose has seemingly put his injury issues behind him. With the Detroit Pistons last season, the 2011 MVP averaged 18.1 points and made 49% of his field-goal attempts.

As per NBA trade rumors, multiple teams are looking to add the veteran playmaker to their rosters in the off-season. Considering the fact the player is already 32, the Pistons might look to make the most out of his contract as they continue to rebuild around their young core.


#4 John Henson

Like Brandon Knight, John Henson was traded to the Detroit Pistons earlier this year by the Cleveland Cavaliers. While there's not much sample size to judge John Henson's fit on the Pistons' roster, he put up some decent numbers in the limited playing-time he received.

However, just like Brandon Knight, Henson is too old to be valuable for the rebuilding Pistons. As the 29-year-old will be a free agent this off-season, the Pistons will most likely let him walk away.


#5 Jordan McRae

After Jordan McRae was waived by the Denver Nuggets earlier this year, the Detroit Pistons signed him in March 2020.

Despite scoring some points in the 11 games he played, Jordan McRae shot just 18.8% from downtown and made 32.6% of his field goals. Considering the fact that he is already 29 years old, the Pistons may not have any reason to bring him back for the next season.
