With James Harden opted in and Kyrie Irving and Khris Middleton re-signing on three-year deals, it now appears likely that the free agent to earn the most guaranteed money in 2023 will be Jerami Grant. – 6:53 PM

Khris Middleton declined his $40M option to secure a new long-term deal.
He takes a paycut at three years, $102M that will help the Bucks manage their tax payment.
They’re entering the repeater tax after being taxpayers for three straight seasons.

Lakers make the list for Khris Middleton (12/1), but nowhere near the favorite (way too expensive), with the Mavs, Kings, Rockets, Grizzlies and Heat leading the way for the veteran sharpshooter, via @betonline_ag. pic.twitter.com/x3wUBFcH70 – 3:40 PM

More on this storyline
In related news, league sources say that Milwaukee is indeed in a promising position when it comes to re-signing both Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez. My sense is that a new deal for Middleton is all but assured at this point, while word is Lopez — despite Houston’s well-chronicled interest and the presumed threat to a Rockets bid would carry — is likewise leaning toward a Bucks return. -via marcstein.substack.com / June 28, 2023
Sources contend Khris Middleton, who opted out of his contract for $40 million next season, will also remain in Milwaukee and sign a four-year, $140 million deal. However, there are some NBA officials who aren’t dismissing the possibility of a Middleton sign-and-trade. The only teams that are positioned to accommodate Middleton’s large salary are Houston, Indiana and San Antonio. -via Woelfel’s Press Box / June 28, 2023
Draymond Green opted out of his contract, but is widely expected to re-sign with the Warriors. The same goes for Bucks free agents Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez. Russell Westbrook seems likely to stay with the Clippers. -via GQ.com / June 27, 2023
