Report: Bucks land Crowder in 3-team deal involving Nets, Pacers

The Milwaukee Bucks are acquiring Jae Crowder from the Brooklyn Nets as part of a three-team deal involving the Indiana Pacers, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Five second-rounders are reportedly part of the multi-team trade, with two of those picks heading to the Pacers.

Indiana will also apparently receive forward Jordan Nwora from Milwaukee and waive Goga Bitadze.

The Bucks are sending center Serge Ibaka to the Pacers, Charania reports. George Hill is also on the move to Indiana, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Pacers are waiving Ibaka, allowing the three-time NBA All-Defensive first-team selection to hit the market, Charania adds.

Crowder has yet to play this season since requesting a trade before the campaign. He was briefly with the Nets after being included in the Kevin Durant blockbuster trade early Thursday.

The 32-year-old averaged 9.4 points and shot 34.8% from deep over 67 appearances last season. He played a prominent role in Finals runs with the Miami Heat in 2020 and Phoenix Suns in 2021.

Milwaukee selected Nwora 45th overall three years ago, and he's averaging 6.0 points and shooting 39.2% from deep over 38 appearances this season. The Louisville product has another year remaining on his contract at $3 million.

Bitadze has spent his entire four-year career with the Pacers, registering 4.8 points and 0.9 blocks per contest across 170 games.

Ibaka has only played twice since Nov. 21. The Bucks have been canvassing the trade market over the past month with the veteran away from the team for personal reasons.

Hill has recently fallen out of the Bucks' rotation. The 36-year-old spent five seasons with the Pacers.
