Wednesday morning marked the end of an era in Milwaukee, as the Bucks agreed to trade franchise icon Khris Middleton and AJ Johnson to the Washington Wizards in exchange for Kyle Kuzma and Patrick Baldwin Jr.

The Bucks are taking their swings in the trade market, though it likely won't save them and make them immediate contenders.

Milwaukee made this move because they believe Kuzma can help them make a deep run in the playoffs. After being knocked out in the first round by the Pacers last year, they want to make a run to at least the Eastern Conference Finals.
