The Hypothetical Trade
Bucks acquire Russell Westbrook
Rockets acquire Khris Middleton, Robin Lopez
In this hypothetical trade, the Bucks part with Antetokounmpo’s current co-star, Khris Middleton, for his next co-star, in Westbrook.
Middleton is center piece of the trade for Houston, as he could be the new running mate with James Harden instead of Westbrook.
For a multitude of reasons discussed in the coming slides, the Bucks also include Robin Lopez.
Let’s examine this deal for both teams.
