What's your best offer for Middleton?

[jpotter33]

For KM:

Bradley, Sully, and Boston 2016 1st

OR

Bradley, Jerebko, and Dallas 2016 1st

The thing is, given that GA is probably untouchable, they might be better off trading Jabari than Middleton, because at least Middleton can justifiably play the 2. Jabari isn't a 4, he's a 3. And GA is also a 3 that can't play the 2 long-term. So even if you supplant KM for AB, you still have one of GA or JP playing out of position, though GA might possibly be a long-term smaller 4.

EDIT: Imagine the small-ball that we could play with Middleton - IT, Smart, Middleton, Crowder, Amir or KO. That's more than likely our best defensive lineup (w/ Amir) and offensive lineup (w/KO).

I say buy low on both Monroe and Parker

David Lee
Sullinger
Jerbeko
James Young
Boston 2016 1st rounder
Dallas 2016 1st rounder
Philly 2nd rounder

for

Greg Monroe
Jabari Parker


Love Sully, but I think it's best to sell him high, since he's going to want a pretty substantial, longer-term deal if his play stays as-is or improves.....which to me, is a big risk considering his conditioning issues. Seems like the type that will get paid and get fat and comfortable.

Monroe was a monster in Detroit and considered almost untouchable in trades this time last year. Parker can score and create his own shot, he's just being used as a PF for some strange reason...

The Bucks can then enter the tank sweepstakes, but still get solid assets back in Sully/Young/Jerbeko plus mid to late first rounders. I would even consider swapping one of the 2 mentioned first rounders for the 2017 Celtics pick that we can swap with BKN.

Roster gets major consolidation. Mickey gets called up. We can then make a separate trade with Amir Johnson + picks if something else comes up in the offseason. Monroe is a lot better fit for this offense and scheme then we think, and Parker can develop in to a prototypical wing slasher/scorer that he is meant to be.

I don't think Sully, Young, and two middling firsts even gets you one of them, nevermind both. Unfortunately, at the very least, you are going to need to give one BKN pick (or Smart), along with a couple of Bradley, IT, Crowder, KO. We are talking premium assets here from the Bucks side, even though they are struggling.

Why would the Bucks trade either of these guys for a "buy low" offer? They're not going anywhere.

I'd trade Lee, Sully and a first for Middleton. I doubt the Bucks are interested in trading Middleton either however.
