Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that the Rockets are trading P.J. Tucker and Rodions Kurucs to the Bucks for D.J. Augustin, and D.J. Wilson, according to sources. The Rockets and Bucks will also be swapping draft picks. The Rockets will send back the Bucks 2022 1st-round pick and instead get the Bucks 2023 1st-round pick which is unprotected. Houston will also be able to swap their 2021 2nd-round pick for Milwaukee's 1st-round pick in 2021, but not if the pick falls between 1-9, which is unlikely.
