CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Charlotte Hornets have acquired guard Pat Connaughton and two second-round draft picks from the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for point guard Vasa Micic, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
The Hornets will get Milwaukee's second-round picks in 2031 and 2032 as part of the deal.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because trades can’t be finalized by the league until July 6.
The Bucks were looking to shed Connaughton's $9.4 million salary for this coming season from their books to make room for other players, most notably to sign free agent center Myles Turner.
