The Milwaukee Bucks are the latest team to make a big move before the trade deadline. They have decided to send Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, and a pick-swap to the Wizards in return for Kyle Kuzma, Patrick Baldwin Jr., and a second-round pick.

The Milwaukee Bucks community expected to end this week wrestling with the the end of Khris Middleton’s time in cream and green. In the weeks preceding the trade deadline, Middleton was transitioned to a bench role where he showed some promise before the wheels fell off again last week in a pair of scoreless performances.
