Bucks News, Trade Ideas, Transactions - Beal for Midds discussed last year

[Daver]

Just got to sell Khris on the Manu thing and shift him to 6th man. Get 50 games out of him playing about half game time, ease him into the playoffs and see how many years we can extract from him. Dame and Giannis are both going to be shooting for 30+ a game heading into the season, don't need much Khris in 24.

Big 3 played only 13 games togethef n were the 2nd best in all of basketball.Wanna see these 3 play 50 games together n watch them absolutely dominate.No fu... way hes becoming a 6th man

[randy84]

Cool. Another season of hoping he will get up to the 20 mins a game mark.

I feel like they are basically doing this now (without bringing him off the bench) and it's worked for him still being a good player but it's not exactly keeping him healthy. Maybe they need to put a limit to how much he plays in the playoffs as well? Because despite being productive he's not shown that he can last past the first round either.

The team has had him in cotton wool for 3 seasons now and unfortunately it hasn't mattered much. I don't know how or why anyone continues to trust him being able to stay healthy playing regular rotation minutes be it in January or May.

JFC guys relax its sept 28th n TC hasnt even started yet.Lets see where he is week 2 into camp before all the negative nancys come out.What was so bad about the article i read progressing well n will take part in most team activities

RealGM having haters of Khris Middleton is a tale as old as 2014.

De-Bud the team already ... just drop Brook,Pat & Khris to a trash can already. They are old, slow and washed.

Exactly, some of us have been saying this for going on year 3? now. Regular season is a completely different game, we don't need Khris starting and playing 33mpg. Bring him off the bench and have him close games and then when the playoffs hit you can ramp up his minutes. It's such a braindead obvious move at this point and the only thing that can be getting in the way of it is ego.

I don’t see how bringing him off the bench will lessen the load or make him more likely to play deeper into the playoffs. He’s been on a minutes restriction for 2 years. What’s the difference between playing 25 minutes as a starter vs 25 minutes as a bench player. If anything a bench role would have him handling the ball more, and with worse defenders around him.

[MiltownMadness]

This Khris news isnt news unless you were unaware of his double ankle surgery this offseason. This is just par the course. At the end of the day its Giannis who has costed us with not being healthy the last 2 years

[humanrefutation]

Khris Middleton hasn't been 100% since the start of the 2022 playoffs.

[Rstuedes24]

Just a reminder that when it has mattered most, Khris has had more availability than Giannis. He was also elite against the Pacers, so the talks of him being old and washed are lazy takes

[raferfenix]

No excuses for the Bucks to start slow.

Gary Trent Jr. makes it way easier to counter Khris not being 100% in regular season games.

Even if Middleton’s out we need just 1 of Delon Wright / AJ Green / Taurean Prince to be a starting caliber player.

Means you can have an every game starting lineup without shuffling each time he's out.

2 of them are too small & the other one has shown he's not starting caliber. I think Livingston is the best if he's realized, so why not try that out 1st, unless he shows he's not ready (if he ever is).

You could also throw AJax into the convo, if what we saw in summer league was an illusion, and he even build on last regular season which included a surprise he wasn't such a dysfunctional shooter. I don't think we need a lot from that spot offensively.

body stikes again. Lol

Why am I stupid blazza, where is the lie?

[blazza18]

You Middleton fans continue to overrate him being healthy enough to play 11 total games over two years just because they were playoff games. This time you're ignoring what Giannis put his body through to deal with Middleton not being healthy enough to play in many more.

"You Middleton fans" bro he is one of the greatest Bucks of all time. Giannis plays how he plays, that has no influence on how much Middleton is playing. You are just trying to twist it different because it doesn't fit your narrative, which I don't know why you would have a different narrative than reality.
