Hornets Acquire Connaughton, 2 Second-Round Picks From Bucks for Micic, AP Source Says
- On July 2, 2025, the Milwaukee Bucks sent Pat Connaughton along with their second-round draft selections for 2031 and 2032 to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for experienced guard Vasilije Micic.
- The trade occurred as part of the Hornets' ongoing efforts to reshape their roster with LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller as central figures, following Micic's initial acquisition by Charlotte in February 2024.
- Connaughton, a 32-year-old who won a 2021 title with the Bucks and played seven seasons there, averaged 6.8 points with a 35.5% three-point rate before falling out of the rotation in 2024/25.
- Milwaukee sent its 2031 and 2032 second-round picks to Charlotte, while Micic, age 31, who has played two NBA seasons and shot 31% on threes in 101 games, earns $8.1 million versus Connaughton's $9.4 million.
- The swap allows Milwaukee to create cap space to pursue Myles Turner and reunites Connaughton with Hornets coach Charles Lee, signaling Charlotte's continued roster reshaping efforts.
