There's a rumor that the Cavs will be chasing Middleton in FA and I'm just trying to understand why.
A team of Sexton-Middleton-2019 Draft pick-Love-Nance is a fringe playoff team in the East and a non-title contending playoff team in 2020 with Love being older and more than likely needing to be replaced.
What's the goal here? Middleton is great, but I'm not sure year 2 of a rebuild is when you jump on a guy like that.
I won't complain if he's here, since Middleton has been a great second option his whole career and would be interesting pair with Zion if that's how things shake out. Maybe they structure his deal to pay him the max until the young guys need extensions.
My guess is they see Middleton as a guy that could be a star if he got out of the shadow of Giannis. I'm not sure the Bucks will want to give Middleton a max contract which might also be why they will target him.
