LeVert played 60 games for the pistons last season averaging 7.4 points on 41% shooting from the field and 33% shooting from three. Prince played just 26 games for the Bucks in 2025 averaging 9.2 points while Harris appeared in 48 games averaging only 2.7 points.
However the major portion of the trade is Detroit getting off the hook of the $14 million owed to LeVert for this upcoming season as it creates more flexibility down the line to make another trade.
