Sinopse

We have our first trade deadline deal -- almost exactly 72 hours before Thursday's NBA trade deadline.Just months after signing a max contract extension with the Orlando Magic, Tobias Harris is being dealt to the Detroit Pistons for point guard Brandon Jennings and stretch forward Ersan Ilyasova.The news was broken by our own Michael Scotto -- not a bad scoop for that young man.The deal appears to be a coup for Pistons coach/general manager Stan Van Gundy, who is acquiring one of the league's top young talents in exchange for a backup point guard (though in truth, Jennings would be a starter if not for Detroit's acquisition of Reggie Jackson at the deadline a year ago) and a stretch 4 who is in the middle tier, at best, of the NBA's stretch 4s.Harris has been averaging 13.7 points and 7.0 rebounds for the Magic while shooting 46 percent from the field, with his scoring total off significantly from the 17.1 points he averaged last season -- his third with the Magic after being acquired from Milwaukee in a deal
