I like Middleton but he is paid like a superstar which he is not.

Dude is talented, just not a winner.
In reference to our title winning year

I wish so hard he would come up big when the team is struggling, and sometimes he does. He'll hit a big shot to keep the game within reach. But he does disappear at times. :(

Overall it's been a great season, but wish he had some bigger moments when we need him.

We should't have signed him, we should opt for one of the other all stars lining up for a chance to play in Milwaukee.

Me and you were right on him for many years. We got hated for it, but at least we were honest. Trade him for KP tonight please.

Nothing to do with him as a player but we gotta at least put some feelers out about him at this point, no? He's our best moveable asset at this point.

Tobias Harris is paid more and is a worse player.

But I will say, Midds’ destiny is as our number three behind Giannis and Jrue.

Khris’s last week or so reminds me of how bad he was in the playoffs against Orlando last year. If we’re being honest, an elite/all star player should not be shut down by James Ennis and he should be able to handle a blitz/double team in a pick n roll. Doesn’t appear he can handle it right now.

20/6/6 with a 50/40/90 season. Much awful.

Yeah, Midds has been great for 2 years, but the expectation and pay at this point is that he is a 1a on a contender. 1a can't average 12 points in back to back losses when the 3rd leg of the stool is out due to COVID. Imagine if Giannis had that kind of back to back game. woof.

It’s disturbing that he’s been tasked with running the team during Jrue’s absence but has shrunk from the responsibility.

LOL on the thread title revision!

Is that documented anywhere? What about other expectations I need to know about? I don't seem to be properly angered so apparently my expectations are out-of-date.

Middleton's 20.1 points a game is currently ranked 42nd in the league. Pretty crazy how many dudes are putting up 20 a night these days.

Nick Nurse absolutely owns Middleton, that’s just the way it is. Middleton is highly skilled, but very average athletically, you need a Matt LaFluer type of coach who can scheme him open, Giannis could also use some of this, unfortunately that doesn’t appear to be Bud.
