New Delhi, July 2 -- The Milwaukee Bucks and Charlotte Hornets have finalised a trade on the second day of the NBA free agency period. According to the deal, Hornets guard Vasilije Micic will be sent to Milwaukee in exchange for Pat Connaughton and two second-round picks (2031 and 2032). This move reflects both teams' strategic efforts to address immediate roster needs while planning for the future.
