Question is why would the Bucks wanna let him go? He seems like the perfect compliment to Giannis (SF) and Parker (PF).

I suspect they don't.......

Their fans, at least on RealGM, definitely don't want to give him up for Kanter.

The argument for them doing it would be that Middleton won't be able to start if Parker is as good as people thought, unless they want to play Parker at PF. Also, they do need some more talented bigs. I highly doubt they do it, but who knows.
 
Jazz will probably field offers down to the final few hours before the trade deadline. Most teams would normally do this. Notice how no deals have actually been announced yet...

Here's a distribution about Middleton's offensive game and how good he is at those(percentile):

6.3% ball handler in PnR - 37 percentile
17.4% transition - 68 percentile
4.3% isolation - 94 percentile
8.9% post ups - 90 percentile
30.4% spot ups - 90 percentile
5.6% hand-offs - 2.3 percentile
4.7% cuts - 77 percentile
13.9% off-screen - 46 percentile
2.7% putbacks - 33.5 percentile

Yup, his bread and butter is off-ball, but as those stats suggest, he has a budding overall game.

In theory it IS harder to find a skilled big... and the Bucks desperate need 1 right now. If they let Sanders go, who do they have at the Center position? MIL is expected to get the #18 pick in the draft so they're not gonna get a decent big there neither...


They need Kanter more than Middleton with Giannis and Parker already a lock at the wing (pun intended).
 
From Kanter's perspective, he'll get a load of minutes with the Bucks... also the last I checked Pennsylvania is closer to MIL than Utah.

Kanter isnt a C though. He is more of a PF. I just don't see them doing it. Hope I'm wrong though.
 
Not sure why they would let Sanders go if they can somehow get Kanter.


They seem like the perfect pair, Defense & Offense.

You know it just occurred tome that Pennsylvania is even closer to Pennsylvania than Milwaukee is. Kanter to Philly for Covington and a pick.

BDA Sports reps 3 best FA guards - Dragic, Rondo, Beverley. Dragic trade to Rockets hurts Beverley's earning power. Lot of dynamics in play.

Welp...

Since you brought up the cba, everyone take a few moments to enjoy the nba for the remaining 8 weeks. It is irreparably broken as witnessed by the players rejecting the smoothing, and the likes of Dragic and Kanter trying to force their way out of the small market teams. Star players have already hinted there were too many teams, and I believe they, and their agents, will push for a league with 18 teams or less. A league where superstars can join their super friends for super teams. The tv revenues for the super teams will be split fewer ways resulting in higher salaries for the super players and higher commissions for the super agents.

The competition for the 18 spots will be fierce, and utah will have to fight to get in. The inherited ownership, recent poor performance, and general dislike of the state by owners and players alike will make the jazz easy chopping block targets.

The good news is the 12 teams can combine with 8-10 new teams to form a true minor league for the NBA, and the jazz can continue living by developing players and selling their contracts to NBA teams. Perhaps the new league can form an alliance with Europe and have a true international championship, or atleast multiple games against each other thus offering a fresh approach and new story lines to compete with the dull and tired stories the nba would try to offer.

So eat, drink, and watch merrily, because in 2017 the nba will die.
