The Milwaukee Bucks have been no strangers to shakeups this NBA Free Agency. From parting ways with veteran talent to making room for younger options, it’s been clear that the franchise is preparing for a strategic reset. However, their latest trade might hit the locker room hardest.
On Sunday, the Bucks officially sent longtime small forward Pat Connaughton to the Charlotte Hornets, along with two second-round picks in 2031 and 2032, in exchange for Serbian guard Vasa Micic.
The move signals the end of Connaughton's seven-season run with Milwaukee one filled with key playoff moments, locker room leadership.
