It's always interesting to see two division rivals complete a trade, and that's what happened on Tuesday evening between the Detroit Pistons and Milwaukee Bucks .
Detroit sent guard Caris LeVert and two second-round picks to the Bucks for Taurean Prince and Gary Harris . Milwaukee is adjusting its lineup after dealing Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat , while the Pistons are trying to bolster their roster to win now.
ESPN's NBA insider Shams Charania broke the news of the trade in a post on X.
"The Detroit Pistons are trading Caris LeVert and two second-round picks to the Milwaukee Bucks for Taurean Prince and Gary Harris, sources tell ESPN," Charania wrote. "Pistons will create a trade exception from the deal and savings while Bucks acquire LeVert and pick up assets."
