Guard Brandon Jennings is headed to the Detroit Pistons in a sign-and-trade deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, according to multiple reports on Tuesday.
The Bucks acquired guard Brandon Knight, forward Khris Middleton and center Viacheslav Kravtsov from the Pistons in the trade, ESPN and Yahoo! Sports reported.
The 23-year-old Jennings’ new contract will be for three years and more than $24 million, sources told Yahoo! Sports.
An unrestricted free agent, Jennings was seeking a big contract but appeared to be passed over until Detroit expressed interest. The Pistons have been busy putting together an offseason makeover in an attempt to end their four-year playoff absence, acquiring Jennings, Josh Smith, Chauncey Billups and Luigi Datome.
Jennings averaged 17.5 points and 6.5 assists in 80 games last season for Milwaukee. He was selected by the Bucks in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft.
The Bucks also signed free-agent guard Gary Neal and first-round draft pick Giannis Antetokounmpo on Tuesday.
