Report: Bucks plan to match any offer Khris Middleton receives
Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton was one of the most improved players in the NBA last season. In just his third season, Middleton provided the Bucks with stellar defensive effort and the versatility to play multiple positions.
Combine that with his outside shooting, and it's easy to see why Milwaukee would want to keep him around.
That might cost the Bucks a pretty penny, however. Middleton is slated to be a restricted free agent, meaning the Bucks have the option to match any offer sheet he signs elsewhere.
I was told emphatically the Bucks plan to match any offers Kris receives, they are planning for him to be back. https://t.co/FCwWyxyetu
