The Lakers have agreed in principle to trade guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and a second-round draft pick to the Pistons for guard Reggie Bullock, a source confirmed to The Undefeated’s Marc Spears.
Bullock, 27, is in his fourth season with the Pistons, averaging 12 points per game and shooting 38 percent on 6.6 3-point attempts per game.
According to Second Spectrum, Bullock is shooting 39.8 percent on catch-and-shoot 3-pointers this season. That would rank first among Lakers players with at least 50 catch-and-shoot 3s.
Detroit will create a $2.5 million trade exception with the deal. Bullock is in the final year of his contract, and the Lakers will inherit his Bird rights this summer.
Mykhailiuk, 21, was drafted by the Lakers with the 47th pick last year and is in the first year of a three-year, $4.6 million contract. The Pistons have until July 5 to guarantee his $1.4 million contract for the 2019-20 season.
The former Kansas star is averaging 3 points in 10.7 minutes per game this season.
