The Milwaukee Bucks sent Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, and a 2028 pick swap to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Kyle Kuzma, Patrick Baldwin Jr., and a 2025 second round pick. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti walk through the emotions of Khris Middleton actually getting traded, Ti screams, and then they try to cope with losing Khris and promising rookie AJ Johnson for Kyle Kuzma, a divisive player with the potential to either solve several Bucks problems or create some new ones. Ti and Rohan also walk through how this deal leaves the Bucks below the second apron, offering more flexibility this deadline and in the summer, although they’re no longer sure what next move makes sense for the Bucks in the post-Middleton world.
