Stein said on the DLLS podcast today that as of early this morning, the plan as he saw it was for both Middleton and Bagley II to finish the year here, which shocked all of the rest of the guys (and me). If true, score one for VLMF, I guess.
However, he also said that buyouts generally happen after players actually receive interest from their eventual destination, and that the two guys would probably be consulted about their preferences, so who knows what will happen. Interestingly, though, he thought Middleton was more likely to be kept than Bagley II.
