Free-agent forward Khris Middleton reached agreement on a three-year, $17.6 million contract with the Washington Wizards via a sign-and-trade involving Dallas on Tuesday, agent Mike Lindeman of Excel Sports Management told ESPN's Shams Charania.

Middleton's homecoming to Washington, where he provided steady veteran leadership and championship insight over the past two seasons, is part of a sprawling six-team transaction that also includes the Detroit Pistons, Memphis Grizzlies, LA Clippers, Milwaukee Bucks and Mavericks, sources confirmed to Charania.

Washington ships D'Angelo Russell, a 2029 second-round pick, a 2032 second-round swap and a 2033 second-round selection to Memphis. Dallas adds a 2033 second-rounder along with Middleton in the package headed to the Wizards.

In a related move, Detroit sends Caris LeVert and two second-round picks to Milwaukee in exchange for Taurean Prince and Gary Harris. The arrangement generates a trade exception and payroll relief for the Pistons, with all three players on expiring contracts.

Additional pieces previously agreed upon are incorporated into the larger deal. Detroit forwards Marcus Sasser to Dallas, Isaiah Stewart to Memphis and a protected 2028 second-round pick to the Clippers.

Memphis sends Santi Aldama and the draft rights to Tarik Biberovic to Dallas while dispatching three second-round picks (the 2029 second-most favorable among Detroit's, New York's and Milwaukee's, plus 2031 and 2032 selections) to Detroit.

The Clippers deal John Collins to Detroit and cash considerations to Milwaukee.

Dallas also moves AJ Johnson to Memphis along with a 2030 conditional first-round pick and a 2029 second-round selection.

LeVert inked a two-year, $29 million agreement with Detroit last offseason. He played in 60 games for the top-seeded Pistons, posting 7.4 points per game on 41.7 percent shooting.

Detroit gains Prince, a reliable perimeter shooter who has connected on better than 43 percent of his three-pointers over the past two seasons. Harris, a 12-year veteran and Michigan State alum, logged fewer than 14 minutes per game for Milwaukee last year.

Middleton, 34, posted averages of 10.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists across 63 games in the prior season. He was dealt from Washington to Dallas in the Anthony Davis transaction ahead of the February deadline.

Both Middleton and the Wizards expressed early mutual interest in reuniting during free agency, citing the positive experience from their previous time together.

Middleton's 12-year run with Milwaukee concluded when he was sent to Washington at the 2025 deadline. A three-time All-Star with the Bucks, he shared the backcourt spotlight with Giannis Antetokounmpo during their 2020-21 title run.

The 12-year pro owns 80 career playoff appearances and has a track record of elevating his output in the postseason, where he averages 20.6 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.8 assists, all above his regular-season marks.

Washington acquired Trae Young and Davis last season to help its young roster push for the playoffs. The Wizards have further bolstered experience and depth this offseason by adding Deandre Ayton and Middleton through trades.
