Per ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Bucks will receive Kuzma, Patrick Baldwin Jr. and a second-round draft pick from the Wizards for Middleton, AJ Johnson and a pick swap.
Edit: Some more context
ESPN’s Bobby Marks added that Kuzma agreed to reduce a portion of his trade bonus to keep the Bucks under the second apron.
Kuzma contact also declines each year. Think this was a smart play since they now have more flexibility this year/next year being under the 2nd apron and don’t lose the draft pick that comes with being over so can potentially trade that. Key thing will be how Kuzma helps them in the playoffs, he did play a similar role on the Lakers championship team.
Late edit: The Bucks will also acquire center Jericho Sims from the New York Knicks as part of the deal, according to Charania. The Knicks will receive Delon Wright and cash.
Part of me is sad because he did help us win a championship but he was really the only option to move if we wanted to upgrade and he’s been hurt for most of the last couple seasons.
Definitely deserves to have his jersey retired.
