DETROIT -- The Detroit Pistons officially announced the next step in their win-now plan Wednesday, acquiring point guard Brandon Jennings from the Milwaukee Bucks for guard Brandon Knight and two other players. "We believe Brandons talent and skill-set will complement the core group of players we have assembled on our roster in a positive way," Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars said in a statement released by the team. The Pistons also gave up two seldom-used players, forward Khris Middleton and centre Viacheslav Kravtsov. Detroit has signed free-agents Josh Smith, Chauncey Billups and Luigi Datome this off-season after drafting shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope with the No. 8 overall pick, but it didnt have a standout point guard until agreeing to a deal with Milwaukee. The Pistons seem to have improved their chances of ending their four-year post-season drought with a series of moves this summer. The 23-year-old Jennings averaged 17.5 points and a career-high 6.5 assists last season, ranking among the leagues top 20 in both categories, and 2.5 turnovers. The restricted free agent has agreed to a $24 million, three-year contract with the Pistons. Milwaukee drafted Jennings 10th overall in 2009 out of Oak Hill Academy and he averaged 17 points, 5.7 assists and 2.4 turnovers over four seasons with the Bucks, who couldve matched any offer made to the restricted free agent this off-season. "We evaluated all of our options and we determined this was the best one for us at this time," Bucks general manager John Hammond said in a telephone interview. Detroit drafted Knight eighth overall in 2011 out of Kentucky. He averaged 13.1 points, 3.9 assists and 2.7 turnovers over the last two seasons. "Were excited about being able to add a young point guard, who we expect to have a long and successful career with us," Hammond said. Middleton, a second-round pick last year, averaged 6.1 points in 27 games with the Pistons. "This is going to be a great opportunity for Khris because hes going to have a chance to earn viable minutes and we hope he takes advantage of it," Hammond said. The 6-foot-11 Kravtsov averaged 3.1 points in 25 games last season as a rookie, and might not end up being on the opening-day roster with the Bucks. Milwaukee, coming off its first post-season in three years, signed free agent combo guard Gary Neal to a two-year deal worth just under $6 million on Tuesday. Neal will help add some scoring to a backcourt that will be without Monta Ellis and J.J. Redick next season.Rudy Gobert Jazz Jersey .

Team members said their behavior was inexcusable and no woman deserves to be treated in that manner.The newspaper last month uncovered a 2012 document that rated the attractiveness of womens team recruits and included lewd comments about them. The mens team called the document its scouting report and circulated it online.A university investigation into the 2012 mens team found the comments were not isolated and continued through the current season. The team, which was in first place in the Ivy League, was suspended Thursday and will forfeit all remaining games.We sincerely apologize for the harm our words and actions have caused women everywhere, and especially our close friends on the womens soccer team, the apology said.We are deeply ashamed that it took a public revelation, a loss of trust and damaged friendshhips for us to fully grasp the gravity of our conduct, for which each member of our team takes full and equal responsibility, it said.dddddddddddd No woman deserves to be treated in this manner; not our mothers, our sisters, nor our peers. We apologize to them, and to all those who trusted us, supported us and believed in us.Harvard President Drew Faust, mens soccer coach Pieter Lehrer and womens soccer coach Chris Hamblin called the mens teams actions unacceptable, disrespectful and shocking.Players on the mens team said they will do anything possible to heal the pain they have caused.To do so, we must first confront the issues of sexism and misogyny within our own locker room, so that we can take up the call issued by the women of the Harvard Womens Soccer Class of 2016 to join them in combatting this sort of behavior, the apology said. Starting with ourselves, all players on this team now commit our efforts to spur a cultural change that goes beyond the scope of our own team. ' ' '
