The Detroit Pistons didn't see long-term fits with recent acquisitions Willie Reed and Brice Johnson

The Pistons acquired veteran point guard Jameer Nelson from the Chicago Bulls for Reed, a person with firsthand knowledge of the process told the Free Press on Thursday morning.

The move was first reported by Yahoo! Sports and comes hours before the 3 p.m. trade deadline.

Minutes later, the Pistons added small forward James Ennis from the Memphis Grizzlies for Johnson, the same person told the Free Press.
