Milwaukee Bucks: A discounted Khris Middleton
The Milwaukee Bucks have been one of the best Eastern Conference teams in the NBA this season. They’ve taken a huge step under the tutelage of Mike Budenholzer and this team is playing at a level the we simply haven’t seen them play at.
The big test for this team will certainly come in the playoffs, but I don’t think anyone would say this team isn’t a threat to the Raptors, Celtics or 76ers in the East. They are for real and arguably have the best player in the East.
With that said, this team will have a big decision to make during the summer, when Khris Middleton becomes a free agent. He will command huge money on the open market, and the Bucks could very well use a discounted Middleton in order to keep this core intact. Good luck getting that, though.
