Detroit Pistons trading Brandon Knight to Milwaukee Bucks for Brandon Jennings

The Detroit Pistons apparently aren’t done dealing.

Two people with knowledge of the situation told the Free Press the Pistons are finalizing a sign-and-trade agreement with the Milwaukee Bucks that would send point guard Brandon Jennings to Detroit. The deal would be three years at approximately $24 million.

In return, the Pistons will send point guard Brandon Knight, center Slava Kravtsov and forward Khris Middleton to the Bucks.

ESPN’s Marc Stein and Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski originally broke the story.

Jennings, 23, averaged 17.5 points, 6.5 assists and 3.1 rebounds for the Bucks last season. He has played there since being drafted 10th overall in the 2009 NBA draft.

He would presumably fill the Pistons’ need for a scoring guard, though he shot 39.9 percent from the field last season and is a career 39.4-percent shooter.

Knight, drafted 8th overall by the Pistons in 2011, averaged 13.3 points and 4.0 assists in his second season with the Pistons. He shot 40.7 percent from the floor.
