Khris Middleton, after being traded from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Washington Wizards, expressed deep gratitude for the city and the organization that nurtured him during his career. Acknowledging the rebuilding phases and celebrating the Bucks' 2021 championship victory, he highlighted significant personal developments and memorable moments. General manager Jon Horst described the trade as one of the hardest decisions made, considering the impacts on both team culture and community. Middleton’s contributions to the Bucks are significant, holding numerous franchise records despite injuries impacting his recent seasons.
From the moment I stepped foot in this city, you embraced me. Together, we experienced the rebuilding years, the emergence of a championship contender...bringing the Larry O'Brien Trophy back to Milwaukee after 50 years.
To the Bucks organization: Thank you for believing in me, developing me, and giving me the opportunity to grow from a trade piece into an All-Star and champion.
Trade Middleton has to be the hardest thing transactionally that I've ever done, from the human side of it, the roster side of it, the culture of the team.
This city has become my home. The relationships built, the community initiatives we've worked on together, and the countless memories will stay with me forever.
