Wizards unlikely to move Khris Middleton?

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has a quick five points, including a triple and a pull up at the nail middy. – 9:46 PM

Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
Nice day for the Wizards. Kuzma/JV combined salaries ($32 million) close to Middleton ($34), who they could flip this summer. Washington adds AJ Johnson, pick swap and two seconds in the deals. Not bad. – 8:48 PM

Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Seems like today was the “we are no longer waiting on you” cut-off for the Suns’ X-team mega trade with Middleton/Kuzma and Jonas coming down. – 5:34 PM

For 12 years, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton were the standard bearers for the Milwaukee Bucks.
“For me, it’s a little bit bigger than business, it’s family.”
Their time together is over. And so is an era of Bucks basketball.

This was supposed to be a relatively quiet trade deadline
Instead we could see Luka, AD, Fox, KD, Middleton, Butler, and Daniel Theis all moved by Thursday afternoon – 2:07 PM

Wizards plan, for now, is to hold on to Khris Middleton, who played with Malcolm Brogdon in Milwaukee. Move gives Washington a little financial flexibility and frees up even more playing time/responsibility for its young wings. Plus they can take a flyer on AJ Johnson. – 1:01 PM

My trade grade for the Khris Middleton-Kyle Kuzma swap. Here’s why I like it more for the Bucks than the consensus opinion:

Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
So, @HPbasketball and I recorded a pod last night that premiered at 7am.
In it, he called the Kuzma for Middleton swap…and I ridiculed the Kuzma for Middleton swap.
We also chat KD to Warriors and Nuggets rumors.

As we reported was in the works earlier this morning, the Wizards are sending Kyle Kuzma and Patrick Baldwin, Jr., to Milwaukee for Khris Middleton and A.J. Johnson, w/the teams swapping draft capital. With @JoshuaBRobbins and @eric_nehm, in @TheAthletic:

Jake Fischer @JakeLFischer
I’m told a key element of the trade talks that brought Kyle Kuzma to Milwaukee in exchange for championship mainstay Khris Middleton: a large vote of support for Kuzma from one Giannis Antetokounmpo. – 10:33 AM

Payal Doshi @PayalDoshiTV
Well at least Khris Middleton gets to reunite with Malcolm Brogdon in Washington. – 10:29 AM

Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
Idk if Khris Middleton is staying in Washington. If he gets bought out, I’d love to see him go to Oklahoma City to give them a free shot at a third shot-creator. They could limit his minutes and protect him defensively. – 10:27 AM
