The Milwaukee Bucks are trading Pat Connaughton and two of their own second-round picks (2031, 2032) to the Charlotte Hornets for Vasilije Micic, per Shams Charania.
As the Bucks are retooling their roster, Micic, who was traded during draft night to the Hornets from the Suns, is changing homes again.
Milwaukee already dropped bombs by adding Myles Turner and waiving Damian Lillard while letting Brook Lopez walk and sign with the Clippers.
According to Charania, free agent center Jericho Sims and free agent forward Gary Harris have agreed to two-year deals with the Milwaukee Bucks, who had already re-signed Bobby Portis.
It’s unclear what the next move can be for Micic; however, the Serb guard, who remains a hot commodity in Europe, has a personal relationship with Giannis Antetokounmpo and his family.
The Bucks only save $1.3 million with this move, but if they are negotiating a buyout of Micic’s $8.1 million salary, then they can win even more.
