For a couple of years now, the growing feeling has been that Brandon Jennings was unhappy in Milwaukee. Primarily because he wanted to play in a major market. In fact, he has said as much. He also felt as if he should be a max player.
While Jennings isn’t going to a major market, nor getting a max deal, he is leaving Milwaukee however. The Bucks and Pistons have agreed on a sign and trade that will send him to Detroit.
Quietly, the Pistons are assembling a nice young team.
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.
