It sure is a start, and it also took nothing to facilitate it. The Rockets just gave away a key role player (Michael Beasley) in a trade to the Bucks for Tyler Ennis. The team did make a small effort already by trading for proven scorer Michael Beasley, but Beasley nor any of the other Bucks look to provide Middleton’s outside shooting stroke or consistent scoring. That run is never happening if they don’t make a serious movie to help replace what they’re losing with Middleton on the shelf, however. Best case, the Bucks can hope to make the playoffs and bring him back for a run later in the year. Middleton’s injury will probably keep him out until March, while it could also end his season before it even begins. Middleton tore his hamstring recently and per reports, could be out for six months or longer. The Milwaukee Bucks were hoping to fight for an NBA playoff spot going into the 2016-17 season, but could quickly find that to be difficult with star scorer Khris Middleton likely done for the year.
