I only saw Middleton against Dallas, but I was never really impressed. He is a weak number two or good number three on a contender, imho. Overpaid. That being said, I also don't see Milwaukee trading him, unless someone there thinks LaMelo will be an absolute star in the league. Middleton and Bledsoe are arguably two best players in that trade. Minnesota is not sending any salary out and they don't have enough cap space for Middleton. Add Johnson and I think it works - I guess Milwaukee can still take him in that hypothetical.
I think Milwaukee has a serious PG problem. They want to move on from Bledsoe, but there really aren't good PG available for him. Since they like playing Gianis as point forward, player like Oladipo would make sense for them. Would it really be so difficult to find a third team to take Bledsoe if Indy doesn't want him? He has his offensive shortcoming, but he is still all NBA defender. Atlanta could certainly use such a defender next to Trae, for example.
