Doc Rivers admitted that the massive trade involving Kyle Kuzma and Khris Middleton took some time because the Milwaukee Bucks hesitated to send 20-year-old guard AJ Johnson to the Washington Wizards. Speaking with the media, Rivers said the Bucks wanted to keep Johnson on the roster, given his limitless potential.
The Milwaukee Bucks are still trying to figure out what makes them the best possible team. After trading for Kyle Kuzma at the trade deadline, they have been focused on getting him integrated with the rest of the roster.
