HHere’s the thing he’ll get a lot better looks now that he’s playing with Dame and Giannis so I’m pretty sure his three-point percentage in field goal percentage should rise.
The bucks gave up 2 players who were both better/higher upside than the two players they got in return. If we wanted to get under the second apron so damn bad, attach some second rounders to PC and ship him off. At this point, we mine as well trade dame and try to do the golden state half rebuild
It hurts but something had to be done, this Dame and Giannis duo time is closing quick. We have to maximize the time we have with Giannis because it could be decades until we have another generational talent once he’s gone. Especially Sundays game, we had all our starters and we got cooked. They won’t admit but the reason they sat out the okc game is because it would have been a great morale killer with another starter loss.
Seems like you’re more concerned about Kris Middleton than the Bucks. The Bucks improved just by getting under the second apron and gained flexibility. Kris Middleton is washed, and he never should've received that contract two years ago. Give me a younger Kyle who won the championship with the Lakers in a similar role.
At this point Kuz is a better player than Kris. Middleton is not in a good place physically and mentally right now, he may give quality spurts here and there but also goes through total black outs more than often. This makes him practically unplayable if we're talking about a team that wants to contend. We won't have such problems with Kuzma. He is athletic, pacey, scores more consistently, has no stamina issues, a natural fast break player, a mediocre defender which is better than a total defensive liability (that's Kris in 2025), a top quality shooter. It was the right move. Glad we took Kuz and not B.I. from the Pelicans. That would be a bad move…
Wasn't kuzma 3 of 13 from three last night or two nights ago? We clearly downgraded. He has no chemistry with giannis. John horse has run this franchise into the ground.
It's a downgrade to save cash. Anyone who argues that kuzma is a better player than Middleton. Even today has not been watching basketball. The statistics won't support the argument that kuzma is better. The statistics and playoffs show that kuzma is definitely not better. There is incomparable. And kuzma shot three for $13 a couple days ago from threes.
Kuzma doesn't make this team better. However, he may be more attractive than an older injured Middleton in one more trade. Cannot compete with just 3 bigs when 2 of them have their own limitations.
I could have cried to see Jrue go, and i could cry to see Khris go BUT in both situations, the Bucks weren't going to win a chip no matter how much the players were loved.
I'm cautiously options about Kuz. I the Bucks' spacing will only do good things for his 3pt %, as well as rhe culture. Being on the Wizards for aeons is probably not going to light a fire under one's proverbial arse.
Retire the number 22 Khris Middleton forever the most underrated buck of all time! Hope he has a good year or two and retires. Also feel the AJ Johnson is a big loss
I love Khris but this was bound to happen. This was a money play. Kuz gets like 20 mil and Khris’s 30 mil was just a bad contract for us. Now we’re under the second apron which is a big deal. Khris will have his number retired here! Peace to Khris! Now to the future 🦌💪🏾
I been screaming at the TV for Middleton to be traded even back when Bud was fired. Its tough but had to be done especially for the salary he was making, but really little production. Hopefully the Bucks can make another trade and then add a few more solid pieces to solidify the roster for the stretch run.
We can mourn Khris and welcome Kuzma at the same time. The fans do have an impact and we don’t want him to feel like he’s coming to a team that doesn’t want him
F this team, this front office, this ownership. I get it, needed to make a move. But this man (with Giannis) took the team from worst record in league to world champions. Then you trade him to worst franchise in NBA for hot garbage. I’ll always root for the bucks but my heart will never be as in it as it has been. Trade Giannis at this point, he deserves better than this franchise. It’s over
I'm not against this trade, but just feeling kind of meh about it. Kuzma is an odd fit for the time being, so hopefully, the Bucks can swing another deal to balance the roster a bit. I was kind of hoping for a move on the periphery a bit, like moving one of the 2-guards (AJ Green, A-Jax, or Gary Trent Jr.) for a big. Like, maybe Boston (before their recent trade) would've given up someone like Luke Kornet for GTJ, considering the Celtics have good "bigs" depth and could use a backup SG. Or even trading someone like AJ Green to San Antonio for Mamu or Charles Bassey. AJ would've been a good roster-balancer there.
Man, fans are strange. Worry about your mother, your wife, your kids, hell even your dog. Shedding a tear for Khris Middleton? Get a life and some perspective. If Giannis and the rest of his teammates can deal with do can the fans. Contrary to Camille, Kuzma is an upgrade over this version of Middleton and allows them to make other moves, who knows

Fuck I’m mad
KASH MONEY!!!!!$ thank you Khris !!!!!
Would have been less heart breaking if they actually traded Khris for a GOOD player.

Giannis is going to get up out of Milwaukee no later than this summer. Watch

now i have 2 teams to support . giannis team and khris team .
Look Dame carried trash blazers teams in playoffs. Now he has Giannis. Trust 🙏
Khris was my favorite Buck. I hate to see him go. But I understand it’s a business
Puke
We downgraded for cap space.

Love Kris but is just a former shadow of himself this team needs to help gannis win
Feel better Camille. Kuzma is a better player right now than Khris.
Abound have traded brook
Can we get Bruce Brown since weRe underneath the 2nd apron 😮?
Camille, your analysis is spot on honest and wise. Thanks.
Gonna miss Khris 🤝 thanks dawg
They need to pursue an athletic big
Sad but necessary. Not sure why we had to give up aj johnson too
Kuzma doesn't make this team better. However, he may be more attractive than an older injured Middleton in one more trade. Cannot compete with just 3 bigs when 2 of them have their own limitations.
I like getting Kuzma but to give up Johnson I do not like.. But I also here this is just a trade to make anthor trade very soon.
Now dump Lillard
Sadness

I hate this. There is no upside of this.

Hope the Wizards don’t move Middleton to another Eastern Conference contender like Jrue Holiday.
Im optimistic about PBJ, 22 years old, 6-10 230 shooter who went to UWM
Im Sorry, this KMidd i dont think would have been as effective for 35 minutes in the playoffs. 20 minutes in the playoffs would not be enough. 🤷🏿♂️
Like it
This is sad, and no one can make me believe this was a good idea.

I'm crying right now. 😭😭😭

I dont think Kuz will go scoreless in games. I also think he actually move his feet. I believe it raises our ceiling slightly but time will tell🤷🏿♂️
The only thing good about this trade is Kuzma stays healthy more other than that they are the same player
Good that he is finally gone
