jul 08 2026Milwaukee Bucks make a move in the trade market, acquiring shooting guard Caris LeVert from the Detroit Pistons. According to Shams Charania, the Bucks receive LeVert along with two second-round picks, while Detroit adds Taurean Prince and Gary Harris.
For Milwaukee, the move adds an experienced perimeter player with ball-handling ability and a useful contract for the future. LeVert comes off a 2025-26 season with the Detroit Pistons, where he averaged 7.4 points, 2 rebounds, and 2.7 assists across 60 games.
He doesn't arrive in peak form, but as a player who can provide rotation minutes, handle the ball in the second unit, and offer additional playmaking on the perimeter. Additionally, the Bucks gain two second-round picks in the deal.
Detroit, meanwhile, gains salary cap flexibility. The trade allows them to save money and create a trade exception, while also adding two veterans like Prince and Harris. Prince can fill a role as a rotation small forward, while Harris arrives as a more secondary option.
It's not a blockbuster trade, but rather one of those deals that helps teams fine-tune rosters, contracts, and salary cap space in the middle of the NBA trade market.
