The Detroit Pistons have agreed to acquire Brandon Jennings from the Milwaukee Bucks in a sign-and-trade agreement.

Jennings will sign for three years and $24 million.

The Bucks will acquire Brandon Knight, Slava Kravtsov and Khris Middleton.

The Philadelphia 76ers are expected to continue to be active in rebuilding their roster and have the ability to facilitate trades due to having the most cap space in the NBA.

"We will be an attractive trading partner for teams around the league all year - not just for players, but for the cap room that we have," Sam Hinkie said.

The 76ers are approximately $16.6 million under the cap for this season and could have as much as $36 million available next summer.

"That kind of flexibility will give us real options," Hinkie said.

Joe Dumars has not closed any avenues to improve the Detroit Pistons, but he has made it clear that Andre Drummond is as close to untouchable as there is.

"We’re open to whatever, but it doesn’t mean you’re going to do the deal," Dumars said. "There’s a pecking order of things we would and wouldn’t do.

"Drummond is one the guys we’re certainly not looking to move at all."

The Pistons have an abundance of power forwards.

"I’m open to whatever — whatever is going to make us better," Dumars said. "That’s probably as much as I can say."

The Phoenix Suns and Indiana Pacers are the final stages of negotiations of a deal that would send Luis Scola to the Pacers in exchange for unidentified players and draft picks.

The Suns are looking to rebuild under new general manager Ryan McDonough.

Scola averaged 12.8 points and 6.6 rebounds in 82 games for the Suns this past season.

The Phoenix Suns and Indiana Pacers are nearing a deal that would send Luis Scola to the Pacers, according to sources.

The proposed trade was first reported by Argentine journalist Juan Sebastia.

Danny Granger is not in the trade, according to ESPN.

The Dallas Mavericks are close to sending Nick Calathes in a trade to the Memphis Grizzlies for future draft considerations, according to sources.

Calathes was drafted by the Mavericks in the second round of the 2009 NBA draft pick and spent the past four seasons playing overseas.

Calathes has an opt out in his contact with Lokomotiv Kazan that allows him to come to the NBA.

Jason Kidd spoke with Paul Pierce about coming to the Brooklyn Nets before taking the job as head coach.

Pierce talked about the process of how he convinced Kevin Garnett to approve a trade from the Boston Celtics to the Nets.

“It was a situation where [the Celtics] were going to make a move, and once the deal with the Clippers didn’t go through for [Garnett], it was like, the Celtics were trading me, Doc (Rivers) was leaving, so what was left for Kevin?” explained Pierce. “I talked to Jason Kidd, and he was warming me to the fact of coming to Brooklyn, then he started warming me to the fact that they were trying to get Kevin, too. 

“That’s when I called Kevin and asked him what he thought about coming to Brooklyn, he immediately said, ‘Well, what pieces are they going to give up? Who is going to be left? Is it going to be possible for us to win a championship?’ He was excited when I talked to him after warming him up, just to have the opportunity to come and win a championship and be alongside a young prospect like Brook Lopez, who he can try to take to the next level. And once I warmed him up to that, he was all in for it.” 

The Portland Trail Blazers and representatives of LaMarcus Aldridge met recently to discuss trade scenarios, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

The Blazers have had talks with Chicago about Joakim Noah, with Minnesota about Kevin Love, with Los Angeles about Blake Griffin, with Atlanta about Al Horford and with New Orleans regarding Anthony Davis.

Those teams have declined to involve their players in any potential deals for Aldridge, a source said.

Neil Olshey is reportedly in no rush to facilitate a deal for Aldridge, who has two years and roughly $30 million remaining on his contract.

The Sacramento Kings are interested in signing Timofey Mozgov.

Mozgov is a restricted free agent and the Denver Nuggets are likely to match any offer sheet.

The Kings lack cap space after not amnestying John Salmons and would need to agree to a sign-and-trade with the Nuggets.

The Sacramento Kings decided not to use their amnesty provision on John Salmons' $7.6 million salary for the 13-14 NBA season.

The Kings looked to improve the small forward position by acquiring Luc Mbah a Moute. 

"I think we're comfortable with what we've done so far," Pete D'Alessandro said. "We're not done by any means, but we're looking long term."

The Kings have a team option on Salmons' contract for next season that they almost certainly won't pick up. The Kings could use Salmons as a trade asset since he essentially becomes an expiring contract.
