Celtics get Jennings (1 yr/$8.3m), Bullock (2yrs/$2.5m); Pistons get Bradley (3 yrs/$24.8m), Young (2yrs/$3.5m; 3rd year team option).
Celtics get a shoot-happy PG that can close games and send Isiah Thomas back to his 6th Man role. Pistons get a defensive-minded SG as a counterpoint to Caldwell-Pope. Bullock and Young are just rookie contracts swaps to make the deal work, too early to tell whether either of them can play in the NBA. Jennings isn't really necessary in Detroit any more and Bradley seems unhappy in Boston. Each team would like to do better with these pieces but they could definitely do worse.
Yeah, not too sexy. Even though there's buzz about a lot of players being available and a lot of teams looking to make moves, I'm not seeing a lot of trades that make sense when I look at the numbers. Making cap space is not a priority this summer for anyone, which means there aren't any sellers, only buyers. I'm sure trades will be made but they will either be blockbusters or insignificant contract dumps. I dunno, we'll see.
