Brooklyn Nets Receive: F Khris Middleton

Milwaukee Bucks Receive: G Kyrie Irving

Here, these two sides outright swap stars in a bid to improve next season.

Readers may have questions. Like why, or what, or wait, why again? Fair enough. We’ve got you covered. The Milwaukee Bucks raise their ceiling in acquiring Kyrie Irving. He’s a more dynamic shot creator than Middleton.

An attack based on his skill and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s physical dominance should rank among the league’s best.

Meanwhile, Middleton is a better fit for the Brookyln Nets if we’re assuming they plan on predominantly featuring Ben Simmons. As a non-shooter, he needs the ball in his hands in order to be maximized. While Irving provides him with plenty of floor-spacing, he too operates best with possession of the rock.

Middleton, on the other hand, hardly needs to touch it. He can serve as a strong secondary creator when need be, but he’s just as happy to work off the ball to get to his spots and fire. It just so happens that he connects on an extremely efficient basis as well.

In fact, that’s exactly why he’s thrived so much alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo. If the Bucks value that dynamic too much to lose it, there may be another way to land Kyrie Irving.
