Washington Wizards forward, Kyle Kuzma, is set to link up with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard at Milwaukee Bucks after the 2021 NBA champions traded Khris Middleton to the Wizards.
The Bucks will receive Kuzma in exchange for three-time All-Star Middleton, who won the NBA championship in the 2020/21 season and added a gold medal with the United States at the Tokyo Games in 2021.
Joining Middleton at the Wizards as part of the trade is A. J. Johnson, while the Bucks will receive Patrick Baldwin Jr. along with a future pick swap and a second-round draft pick in exchange.
Middleton is on the books for $31.7 million this season and has a $34 million player option for next season. Meanwhile, Kuzma is under contract through the 2026/27 season, having signed a four-year $90 million contract with the Wizards in July 2023.
