The Milwaukee Bucks and Denver Nuggets are two playoff caliber teams who will be looking to add some talent to their rosters as the NBA trade deadline draws closer. Each team appears to be in need of making a change to reach title contention status.
The Bucks and Nuggets are led by two of the NBA’s top players in Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic. However, there doesn’t appear to be enough firepower in their respective supporting casts to be able to achieve the goals they initially established.
Both of these two teams are headlined by their fair share of star power, but they each need players to beef up certain areas. Khris Middleton, despite his large impact on the Milwaukee Bucks, could be best suited to be traded to help balance out the supporting cast since the team is tied up significantly in the salary cap department.

Middleton has a ton of obvious upside to a team like Nuggets to build around, but it’s just a matter of making the right move to keep both teams in a great position down the road.
Let’s dive into what a potential NBA trade deadline scenario between the Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks centered around Khris Middleton could look like.
