The Detroit Pistons are sending veteran guard Caris LeVert and two second-round picks to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Taurean Prince and Gary Harris, ESPN reported on Tuesday.
The trade is part of a larger six-team deal ESPN reported on which includes veteran guard Khris Middleton returning to the Washington Wizards on a three-year, $17.6 million sign-and-trade agreement with the Dallas Mavericks.
LeVert, 31, is halfway through a two-year, $29 million contract he signed last offseason with Detroit. He averaged career lows of 7.4 points, 2.0 rebounds and 19.2 minutes per game, well below his career averages of 13.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 26.9 minutes per game over 10 NBA seasons and 584 games (223 starts) with the Brooklyn Nets (2016-21), Indiana Pacers (2021-22), Cleveland Cavaliers (2022-24), Atlanta Hawks (2024-25) and Pistons.
Sending LeVert to Milwaukee gives the Pistons a trade exception along with Price and Harris.
Prince, 32, averaged 9.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists while shooting 43.6% from 3-point range last season for Milwaukee. He was limited to 26 games due to a herniated disk in his neck. Over 10 seasons, he's averaged 9.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 608 games (351 starts) with the Hawks (2016-2019), Nets (2019-21), Cavaliers (2021), Minnesota Timberwolves (2021-23), Los Angeles Lakers (2023-24) and Bucks (2024-26).
Harris, 31, averaged 2.7 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game in his lone season with Milwaukee over 48 games (two starts). His production has fallen off the last few seasons, but he has career averages of 9.9 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 666 games (448 starts) with the Denver Nuggets (2014-21), Orlando Magic (2021-25) and Bucks.
Middleton, 34, returns to Washington after he was moved to Dallas at the trade deadline in the deal which helped the Wizards acquire Anthony Davis. He spent parts of two seasons with Washington, averaging 10.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists while shooting 31.5% from 3-point range.
Over 839 career games (721 starts) across 14 seasons, Middleton is averaging 16.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game while making 38.5% of shots from beyond the arc. His 1,476 3-point field goals are ranked 62nd all-time in NBA history.
Other previously reported trades involved in this multi-angle deal include John Collins joining the Pistons, the Memphis Grizzlies acquiring Isaiah Stewart and Dallas picking up Santi Aldama.
