Bucks send Khris Middleton to Washington for Kyle Kuzma

[AJtheOne]

Kuzma is a goofball but might do better with a fresh start.

Khris is now a tank commander

Weird trade

Not even Kuz is dumb enough to go blackhole mode and fukk with the hierarchy. This feels like a solid move for the Bucks. Middleton is a legend and 1000% have his # retired, but his value has tanked the last couple years. Kuzma's contract is reasonable, he's shown he can play good defense when he's locked in, and he should help the Bucks a lot in transition.

Good move imo

All them air balls in one game is nasty work

Change to B…



To an S on Kyle’s jersey and there you have it.

Am I the only one that thinks it might be a pretty decent trade for the Bucks?

Kuzma as the #1 option has obviously been a failure. But on the Bucks, he would only be a 4th option as a spot up shooter which he is really good at. One of the reasons LeGM did not trade him initially when he first came to the Lakers

He's not a good spot up shooter breh. Kuz is "best" with the ball in his hands going downhill and pull up fukk U 3s. He can post up decently too. When hes hot he looks like an all-star. The problem is he doesnt get hot nearly often enough and looks like a buffoon trying to get to that point (bad turnovers, airball 3s, idiotic passes).

Doc will be good for Kuz. Wont be surprised if he flourishes there. Doubt Middleton will ever put on a Wiz uni lol.

Name one player who Doc has been good for.

The best thing Doc can do for players is shipping them out (like SGA) or getting fired (like Maxey)

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I hate the Bucks for saving Kuzma. He's pathetic. This won't work out well

 

[Blackrogue]

Kuz will get buckets. But in the paint. He's better than Taurean Prince who they slated as the starter with Mid off the bench. Shooting is sus. But he'll get buckets and now he's not on a leash. I think Brogdon on a leash too. They gotta put the young pups in and then everyone get mad at Kuz cause he takes shots but that's what he does cause they want the young guys not to defer. He'll be himself in Milwaukee. He'll be cool.

I don't know how that injury declined Middleton like that.... so sudden he just averaged 25/9/5 on 48/36/90 against the Pacers without Giannis and Dame missin half the series and on 1 leg after game 1..... Breh had a 40/10/5 that series in that crazy 2OT game too. He looked mad this season i seen many games where he scored 0 points

Having surgery on both ankles in the offseason was a disaster waiting to happen, yet Milwaukee initially tried downplaying it as no big deal.

I guess the good news for him with this trade is that he can actually sit out and finally get healthy as he shouldn't have been out there at all this season.

His shooting is still fine. As is the playmaking

He just can’t stay on front of guys anymore.
