The Bucks and Pistons swap Brandon Jennings and Brandon Knight, head in different directions

With NBA free agency nearing its end, Milwaukee Bucks restricted free agent point guard Brandon Jennings stood out as one of the biggest names not yet committed to a team for the 2013-14 season. As basketball stars and fans alike waited for a resolution, the questions regarding his employer and future were clear. Would Jennings stay with the Bucks because of a lack of options, locked into a situation without clear paths to improvement? Would he accept his qualifying offer and
cast his lot with unrestricted free agency next summer? Or would he find another team, accepting a new start below his preferred salary?

We now appear to have a resolution that could work for all parties. As reported by Y!'s own Adrian Wojnarowski, Jennings has agreed to a contract with the Detroit Pistons for $24 million over three years and engineered a sign-and-trade deal that will send guard Brandon Knight, forward Khris Middleton, and center Slava Krastov to the Bucks. Jennings's new deal is significantly less lucrative than the four-year, $40-million extension offer he turned down prior to the 2012-13 season, although it will allow him to become a free agent in three years, when he will be just 26 years old.
