It’s no secret that the top priority for the Milwaukee Bucks this off-season is keeping two of their core pieces in Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez.
Lopez is set to outright enter free agency unrestricted, while Middleton will ponder a $40.4 million player option first. In all likelihood, he will decline that to ink a new deal with the Bucks. Among the most prominent questions making its way around league circles is what Middleton could earn on a new extension with the Bucks. HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto spoke with some executives who are of the mindset that Milwaukee wants to keep Middleton and expect the forward to command an extension worth $130 million over four years.
