Remember when the Bucks traded for one of the Blazers stars last offseason? What if they just, like, did that again? Khris Middleton is a better all-around player than Jerami Grant, but he's also struggled to stay healthy in recent years and had arthroscopic surgeries on both ankles this offseason. If the Bucks have any hesitations about Middleton's ability to stay on the court, swapping him for Grant (who's also two years younger) makes sense. A starting five of Damian Lillard, Gary Trent Jr., Grant, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez would remain one of the best in the East, as Grant averaged 21.0 points and made 40.2 percent of his threes last season. Lillard and Grant already carry a year of experience together from their 2022-23 season with the Blazers. The Warriors are essentially swapping Andrew Wiggins for Middleton here, as Moody may not even play much this upcoming season with the additions of Buddy Hield and De'Anthony Melton combined with Brandin Podziemski entering the starting lineup full-time. Middleton's shooting, passing and overall versatility make him a strong fit in Golden State, and the Warriors should be thrilled to get off Wiggins' contract. Portland saves money by swapping Grant (four years, $132.4 million) out for Wiggins (three years, $84.7 million) and gets to take a look at Moody, 22, before he enters restricted free agency next summer
