Brandon Jennings is available for trade, Stan Van Gundy said Tuesday, but he's no different than anyone else on the Detroit Pistons roster. With offseason free-agent signings eligible to be traded on Tuesday, expanding the market now to include most players on NBA rosters, rumors and speculation have fired up about Jennings, the 6-foot-1 guard still rehabbing a torn Achilles suffered in January. The New York Post on Sunday identified Jennings as possible target for the backcourt-thin New York Knicks, and when asked about it Tuesday Van Gundy said he nor Pistons general manager Jeff Bower have had any discussions with other NBA teams about trading him. "We haven't one talk with anybody about him," Van Gundy said. "I just think that people assume that with Reggie (Jackson) here and the way Brandon played last year, I think people just make that assumption. He's no more or less available than anybody else we have." Jennings is in the final year of a three-year, $24 million contract and becomes an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. A starting point guard by trade, he averaged 15.4 points and 6.6 assists while starting in 41 games last season before the Achilles tear. Detroit has since opted to go with Reggie Jackson as its long-term option at point guard, trading for Jackson last season and signing him to a five-year, $80 million contract in the offseason, relegating Jennings to the bench when he returns, expected to happen sometime in the next two weeks. - See more at: http://www.mlive.com/pistons/index.ssf/2015/12/svg_on_brandon_jennings_trade_1.html
