You're right that the Bucks did well with the Middleton deal. I know it's not my money, but when you're in the Bucks' situation coming off having the best season in the NBA and definitely a title contender, you re-sign both Middleton and Brogdon. If they had to make a choice, they should have let Lopez go.
I tend to agree. PAY THE DAMN LUX TAX. Maybe they think a young player is ready to step up. Time will tell.
