REPORT: Bucks say the will match any offer made to RFA Khris Middleton

[Hey Yo]

"Khris Middleton continued to improve during his third NBA season with the Bucks, and finished the year with averages of 13.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists, while starting in 58 of his 79 appearances and playing 30.1 minutes per contest.

Middleton will be a restricted free agent this summer, and teams may come calling with sizable offers. But Milwaukee wants to make it known that it is willing and able to step up and match.

As far as Khris Middleton is concerned, sources say the Bucks will issue the required qualifying and have every intention of matching any offer sheet Middleton may receive from other teams. The Bucks view Middleton as a core piece to their success last season and will meet whatever price is necessary to keep him in Milwaukee.

teams will always say this for any RFA, because they simply want to deter other teams from slamming a huge offer sheet. bucks wanna reduce his market value right now

don't forget jeremy lin's situation and how the knicks would "match any offer up to a billion dollars"

if teams truly believe that they will "match any offer", its possible that no team extends an offer sheet to him and then he is stuck with taking the QO for next year or whatever lowball offer the bucks give.

This guy is going to get stupid overpaid.

Something tells me he's going to get a large contract and then do nothing afterwards.

A nice 3rd option guy to have on a team, plays decent D. Lacks the explosive athleticism to really take the next step though. Deluxe 3 and D guy.

Unfortunately for franchises, guys like this usually get overpaid....

Deserves 7-9 a year but will probably end up at 11+ a year.
