The Detroit Pistons are on the hunt for a guard to bring off the bench after trading Brandon Jennings in the Tobias Harris trade. It appears one target might be the Denver Nuggets' Jameer Nelson, who played for four seasons with Stan Van Gundy as a member of the Orlando Magic.

Nelson is 34 years old and it's been four seasons since he's had a good season. But he knows Van Gundy's system and would slide right into the lineup without the team missing a beat.

There is also the question of money. Nelson is signed for two additional seasons after this one making $4.5 and $4.7 million. That is almost certainly more than he's worth, but a trade would offer cost certainty at a key backup position for the next two years.

If the Pistons wait until the offseason to add point-guard depth, it might cost them more than they're willing to pay.

Nelson has fallen out of the rotation in the past month and is dealing with a wrist injury that could keep him out of games coming out of the All-Star break.

Nelson is averaging 7.9 points, 5.0 assists, 1.7 turnovers on a shooting line of .369/.299/.857 in 27.1 minutes per game this season.
