After weeks of speculation, the Milwaukee Bucks have finally figured out what to do with point guard Brandon Jennings. Sources say that the Bucks have decided to cut ties with their 10th overall pick from the 2009 NBA Draft, and do a sign-and-trade deal that will land them point guard Brandon Knight, forward Kris Middleton, and center Viacheslav Krastov.
In a very busy offseason that saw many NBA stars like Dwight Howard, Andre Iguodala, and even Jennings own teammate Monta Ellis, all signing with new teams, Jennings name was one of the very last to be called. Although the young guard averaged 17.5 points and 6.5 assists last season, the Bucks have made it clear that they are cleaning house and starting fresh next season.
Along with Jennings, the Bucks also lost from last years playoff team: Monta Ellis, J.J. Redick, Luc Mbah a Moute, Mike Dunleavy, Drew Gooden, and Gustavo Ayon.
As for the Detroit Pistons, it looks as if though their four-year playoff drought may finally come to an end. Not only were they able to acquire Brandon Jennings, but they also signed free agent Josh Smith and brought back veteran point guard Chauncey Billups. With Jennings at the helm now, the Pistons have a pretty respectable starting five.
PG - Brandon Jennings
SG - Chauncey Billups/Rodney Stuckey
SF - Josh Smith
PF - Greg Monroe
C - Andre Drummond.
