Milwaukee Bucks Receive: G/F Evan Fournier, G Derrick Rose, F Obi Toppin, 2026 First-Round Pick (NYK), 2028 First-Round Pick (NYK) 

New York Knicks Receive: G/F Khris Middleton 

Of course, some Bucks fans will be angry about this one, too. 

They’ll argue that Middleton has more trade value. This is an NBA star, isn’t it? Shouldn’t the Bucks get more than a pair of first-round picks for him? 

In all likelihood, no. Middleton is aging. Injuries have impacted him for a couple of seasons. By now, this is likely the market value for his services. 

It’s still good value. The Bucks aren’t merely receiving a pair of picks here. Obi Toppin is an intriguing young player. Meanwhile, Derrick Rose should find his way into their rotation as well.
