Report: Pistons agree in principle to trade Bullock to Lakers
It's not for Anthony Davis, but the Los Angeles Lakers have reportedly pulled the trigger on a trade.
The Detroit Pistons have agreed in principle to send guard Reggie Bullock to the Lakers in exchange for Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and a 2021 second-round pick, a league source told ESPN's Marc J. Spears.
The trade is expected to be completed Wednesday, sources told the Athletic's Shams Charania.
Bullock is averaging 12.1 points across 44 appearances this season for Detroit, and he's converting 38.8 percent of his 3-point attempts. He dropped 19 points and drilled five 3-pointers in 36 minutes on Tuesday night in a 105-92 road victory over the New York Knicks.
"I'm a Piston and this is the organization that I'm with and that I want to be with," Bullock said following the victory and ahead of the reported deal, according to the Detroit News' Rod Beard.
The Lakers selected Mykhailiuk 47th overall in the 2018 draft.
