Yes Khris and Lopez are definitely the ones we should be looking to trade but we won't get much back for either at this point because one can't stay healthy and they are both way too slow.
This is why I was screaming from the rooftops in February that the Bucks needed to trade Middleton at the deadline while he still at least had some value. I said if the Bucks held on to him beyond the trade deadline, they would get nothing for him this off season.
Bucks will be lucky to get a bag of tube socks for him this summer.
No one is going to want to baby and coddle this guy for a full season just so that he can have an ok game once every 2 weeks before he falls down and is out another 4 weeks.
The sad thing is, if he just stayed healthy for one or two playoff series, Khris could triple his trade value.
Of course 3x0 is still 0....but you know what I mean.
Imagine if the Bucks had traded Middleton during the 2022 off season before everyone realized he had just fallen off a cliff. Everyone, including us thought the was going to bounce back strong.
You probably could have gotten a guy like Hali for him at that point in time.
That's pretty hypothetical though, I can understand the Bucks holding on to Middleton for the 22'23 season.
Going into the 22'23 season I thought maybe Khris could still bounce back be that guy. That obviously wasn't the case. It's insanity that there are people right now in 2024 who still think Khris can still be that guy and form some sort of a big 3 with Giannis & Dame....lol.
But the Bucks were complete fools not to trade Middleton this off season along with Jrue (in a separate trade) and then were even bigger fools not to trade him this past February. That was the Buck's last chance to get something of any value for him.
