This season, the Milwaukee Bucks' Khris Middleton blossomed as a key part of one of the league's most exciting young teams, becoming a solid contributor on offense and one of the best wing defenders in the league. Now, he's headed for a sizable raise in free agency this summer.
Middleton is a restricted free agent, which means the Bucks can match any contract offer he receives (within three days) and retain his services. The free-agent market may set his value at as much as $15 million per season. The Bucks could match that amount and seem likely to do so, but that shouldn't discourage any team from pursuing him.
