The Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic are apparently talking about a trade, according to ESPN’s Marc Stein.
The Pistons and Magic have discussed a trade that would send Reggie Jackson to Orlando for D.J. Augustin and Jeff Green, league sources say.

Not yet clear if talks go past the "discussion" phase but Detroit, as @ZachLowe_NBA noted this week, has been exploring its Reggie options.

In 57 games played this season, Augustin has averaged 8.4 PPG, and has a career average of 9.6 PPG. Pistons fans remember Augustin well, where in 54 games of the 2014-15 season, he averaged better than 10 PPG and close to 5 assists per contest as the backup point guard. Green in 56 games this year for Orlando has averaged 9.4 PPG, well below his average of 13.6 PPG.
Reggie Jackson has played in 36 games for the Pistons this year, averaging 15.2 PPG and 5.6 APG, and he’s been the center of trade rumors for several weeks now.
Would you like to see the Pistons make this move?
