On the day before the trade deadline, the Milwaukee Bucks traded Khris Middleton to the Washington Wizards for Kyle Kuzma. It was inevitable that the move would be scrutinized after it was announced.
Kuzma’s move, however, allows Milwaukee to pursue another deal.

We are approaching the NBA trade deadline.
This week has already been a wild one for the NBA, with a number of teams making trades that are destined to change franchises. Khris Middleton, one of Milwaukee’s greatest players, was traded on Wednesday. However, they may not be done:
The Bucks acquired Kyle Kuzma and Patrick Baldwin Jr. from the Washington Wizards in exchange for Middleton and rookie AJ Johnson. They also added New York Knicks backup center Jericho Sims for Delon Wright in a late Wednesday night deal.
Will the Bucks make any more trades and continue to remake their roster?
