Khris Middleton back at Wiz for 2nd stint in 6-team sign-and-trade deal - ESPN

Free agent veteran wing Khris Middleton has agreed on a three-year, $17.6 million deal with the Washington Wizards via a sign-and-trade with Dallas on Tuesday, agent Mike Lindeman of Excel Sports Management told ESPN's Shams Charania.

Middleton's return to Washington, where he spent portions of the last two seasons with Washington as a positive locker room presence with championship experience, is folded into an elaborate six-team trade between the Detroit Pistons, Memphis Grizzlies, LA Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks, Mavericks and Wizards, sources told Charania.

Washington sends D'Angelo Russell, a 2029 second rounder, a 2032 second-round swap and a 2033 second-round pick to Memphis. Dallas also includes a 2033 second-round pick with Middleton to Washington.

Also in the trade, Detroit sent Caris LeVert and two second-round picks to the Bucks for Taurean Prince and Gary Harris on Tuesday. That deal creates a trade exception for the Pistons as well as cap savings. All three players are on expiring deals.

Other moves that were previously agreed upon are also involved in the deal. Detroit sends Marcus Sasser to Dallas, Isaiah Stewart to Memphis and a protected 2028 second-round pick to the Clippers.

Memphis trades Santi Aldama and the draft rights to Tarik Biberovic to Dallas and three second-round picks (2029 second-most favorable of Detroit's, New York's and Milwaukee's, 2031 and 2032) to Detroit.

The Clippers trade John Collins to Detroit and cash to Milwaukee.

Dallas also trades AJ Johnson to Milwaukee and a 2030 conditional first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to Memphis.

LeVert signed a two-year, $29 million deal with Detroit last offseason. He appeared in 60 games for the No. 1-seeded Pistons, averaging 7.4
