Lol we are pretty spoiled
Middleton is not the guy who can throw him in any team and lead them in good results.He fits with Giannis but he is so f inconsistent with the crazy gravity of Giannis,imagine without Giannis and there are better choices out there.They could trade him for Michael this summer for example.The problem is that i can imagine Brunson to lead Knicks,i can't see Middleton and i know that he is better player from Brunson.Middleton is a weird role player.
I personally feel like the Giannis-Khris-Jrue axis has earned the right to get at least one more crack at winning another ring (after this season). Let's not forget, the Bucks haven't lost a playoff series with all 3 of them healthy! But if Khris' injuries continue to pile up, there will likely have to be some tough decisions to be made.
I think Wes, George Hill, and Nwora are tradeable this year but thats about it. Dont touch anyone else.
I agree no trades should be made in the middle of the year for any key players but bucks have to move off of that massive contract (Khris) unless we have a great finals run.
I can understand Kane s patient approach regarding Middleton. He deserves more respect and time. However! How about Joe!? 35 years old coming off ACL surgery. The Bucks should not use the same playing time approach as Wes M. , because we already knew what he can do. For me, Joe got to play more this season and prove himself a worthy playoff rotation player in 2023
So, Khris has played 7 games this season (6 if you exclude the Houston game that he left early). Out of those games, he was objectively bad in 3 games. The game against the Magic, which the Bucks were able to overcome. The game against Dallas, which the Bucks were able to overcome (I also think he had pretty solid defense against Luka at times, he also called out the final play the Mavs had). And the game against the Grizzlies, in which the entire teams was bad.
He's barely come back from months of being out of the game with injury. He's had a few bad games. Most of which the Bucks still won. Some of us are acting like he's dragging the team to rock bottom. The Bucks fan base is quicker to turn on Khris than anyone I've ever seen. Can we just give him a bit more time? Time to get truly healthy and in some kind of rhythm?
And to be clear, I don't think he's been very good since coming back. Average at best overall. But he JUST came back. Can we just give it some time before we do the Khris complaining that I know this fanbase loves to do?
Trading for the Bucks? Meeehhh, I am not so keen at the moment… The team seems to be managing well enough so far and I am still waiting for more of Joe and Khris… Though I could certainly entertain a conversation or two on the subject…
Man if we could get Cam Reddish from the knicks for Hill and Allen that would be great. He's just languishing on that bench and he's athletic, can shoot make plays for others and is generally not playing because thibs is even more stubborn than bud. In a winning system like Milwaukee he could REALLY extend giannis career by a decade
