MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Bucks general manager Jon Horst says trading Khris Middleton was the toughest decision of his career because of everything the three-time All-Star had done for the franchise. Trading Middleton to the Washington Wizards brought forward Kyle Kuzma to Milwaukee and put the Bucks under the second salary-cap apron, giving them the flexibility to make other moves during the offseason. Horst says he believes the moves he made last week should make Milwaukee more dangerous this season, adding that ownership didn't ask him to lower the payroll.
