Milwaukee Bucks legend Khris Middleton has been traded after months of speculation. He and AJ Johnson were dealt for Kyle Kuzma, Patrick Baldwin Jr and a second-round draft pick (via Shams Charania).

Middleton was moved to the bench this season, and has struggled to get back to who he used to be after dealing with many injuries.
Rumors of him being moved for Kuzma ignited yesterday, and both the Bucks and Washington Wizards ultimately pulled the trigger.
Adding Kyle Kuzma will help Milwaukee’s scoring and rebounding, as he is averaging 15.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game this season.
The move is a shock to the city of Milwaukee, but the writing was on the wall for Khris Middleton to be let go.
His tenure included a massive championship for a city that was thirsty for one. He will be missed by the organization and the die-hard fanbase.
