The Milwaukee Bucks are trading Khris Middleton to the Washington Wizards for Kyle Kuzma, CBS Sports NBA insider Bill Reiter confirmed Wednesday. In addition to Kuzma and Middleton, the deal also includes AJ Johnson and a pick swap going to the Wizards.

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.

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