One day before he turned 36, Jameer Nelson was reunited with an old friend.
Stan Van Gundy, who coached Nelson for five years in Orlando, traded for the veteran point guard on Feb. 8. The Pistons sent Willie Reed and a 2022 second-round draft pick to Chicago in exchange for Nelson.
All of that for the 36-year-old to play a total of seven games.
Nelson averaged 3.7 points, 3.3 assists and 1.1 rebounds this season in Detroit. Even though he only played 16.6 minutes per game, he shot 28 percent from the floor.
