This was to be expected. Benefits Khris and the Bucks to agree on a long-term contract and not take as large of a cap hit in one season.

Khris had his health issues during the regular season, but was the best player on the Bucks in the 5-game series with the Heat. Turns 32 in August (I bet Khris returns on a 4-year deal with the 4th year as a PO)

The belief around the league is that Khris and Brook will return to the Bucks. Middleton had dinner with new coach Adrian Griffin, I think there is a desire to keep the core intact (Giannis, Khris, Jrue, Brook).
