//platform.twitter.com/widgets.jsOrlando and coach Scott Skiles had been vocal in recent weeks about acquiring more veteran help, and they do so with this move. Ilyasova, 28, is a seven-year vet averaging 11.3 points and 5.4 rebounds a game, with 1.5 triples on 36% shooting. Jennings, 26, has only played in 23 games this season as he works his way back from an Achilles injury, averaging 6.8 points and 3.0 assists a game. The pair played under Skiles from 2009 through 2013. Detroit brings in Tobias Harris, 23, who has averaged 13.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per game for the Orlando Magic. He will most likely slot in as a starting forward alongside Marcus Morris for the Pistons. Deal was first reported by Mike Scotto.//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js
