Massive NBA trade sees Pistons pick up Taurean Prince, Khris Middleton return to Wizards 08.07.2026

The NBA offseason has been marked by a complex six-team trade involving the Pistons, Bucks, Wizards, Mavericks, Grizzlies, and Clippers. Following a seven-game series loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Detroit Pistons traded veteran guard Caris LeVert and two second-round picks to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Taurean Prince and Gary Harris. This strategic maneuver allows Detroit to save approximately $7 million in cap space, which is expected to be utilized for signing restricted free agent Jalen Duren. Meanwhile, the Bucks acquire LeVert and bolster their assets, now owning seven first-round picks as they rebuild. Additionally, Khris Middleton has agreed to a three-year, $17.6 million sign-and-trade deal with the Washington Wizards. This massive transaction also saw Isaiah Stewart move to the Memphis Grizzlies, while D'Angelo Russell heads to the Grizzlies as part of the intricate multi-team reshuffling.
