Basically moving our top five picks for a solid, potential all-star and a late lottery pick. Alas, this might be as good as it gets.

Heck yes. Great trade for Ainge.

I'd then look to move Bradley plus a future pick package for a Big.

From a value standpoint I dont hate it, but this makes no basketball sense for Milwaukee and necessitates another trade for us because Middleton is a 2-3

Yep. They're not trading Middleton. They're too attached to their three wings that aren't necessarily good fits together, yet they're also dying for a good, two-way point guard prospect.  ::)

It makes sense for the Bucks if they're in love with a guy available at 3 and want to build a youth movement elsewhere. Kidd has a couple years to rebuild. We would have lots of depth at 1-3. I think we can make it work with lots of time off the bench for Jae and Marcus with Avery and Middleton starting.

It doesnt make much sense for the Bucks because they definitely need shooters. Middleton is young on a good contract, can play the two and can shoot the 3. If you can point me to a source suggesting the Bucks fell in love with someone in this draft fine, but that would be news to me. Murray and Hield dont offer anything Middleton doesnt and any other pick turns them into a team that fits together even worse.

Also do you really think there are enough minutes for Isaiah Marcus Avery Rozier Crowder and Middleton? I do not. Someone must be traded.

I'd rather have that problem than the problem of what to do with 5+ rookies. I can see us having enough minutes, particularly if we play a lot of small ball or get the injury bug. We can always try to move Bradley and a future pick for Love or another big.
