MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Bucks general manager Jon Horst said trading Khris Middleton was the toughest decision of his career because of everything the three-time All-Star had done for the franchise.
“I’m incredibly close with Khris personally, his family,” Horst said before the Bucks’ 125-111 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Monday, his first time addressing reporters since the trade was completed last week. “I probably have more Middleton jerseys in my house than anything and will still have more Middleton jerseys in my house than anything.”
Trading Middleton to the Washington Wizards brought forward Kyle Kuzma to Milwaukee and put the Bucks under the second salary-cap apron, giving them the flexibility to make other moves during the offseason.
