What happened: League sources say Detroit continues to express trade interest in Tyler Herro, who is set to be acquired by Milwaukee. The Bucks are expected to listen to offers but could also elect to keep Herro. The renewed push comes as Austin Reaves is now set to stay with the Lakers, his long-believed preference.
Why it matters: Reaves locking in with Los Angeles closes one door Detroit had been exploring and redirects the Pistons toward Herro as a backcourt scoring target. For Milwaukee, fielding offers on a just-acquired Herro signals the Bucks are still shaping their roster rather than committing to the fit. How the front offices value Herro will help set the market for backcourt help this offseason.
What to watch: Watch whether Milwaukee engages or holds firm on Herro, and what package Detroit is willing to put together now that the Reaves avenue has closed.
