They wont wait for two picks to materialize and for Diallo to develop. They have Maker.
They only trade Middleton for real players. Middleton is a wing. They now the value of the wing.
Milwaukee would like to shed salary even using picks. But dont want to be worse.
Also they dont know if Parker will return the same after injury.
So at the trade deadline at the earliest.
So they may trade Middleton at earliest when they will know what will happen with Jabari.
