Fans approve of Khris Middleton off the bench, still disapprove of a Butler trade
In this week’s Tuesday Tracker, we asked you about the recent decision to bench Khris Middleton and how that affects the starting lineup. We also revisited the Jimmy Butler rumors once again and found our readers almost evenly split on one trade-related topic. Here are the highlights:
- 86% of respondents agree with moving Middleton to the bench in the short term, and a slight majority (53%) would keep him there once his minute restriction is gone.
- Only 43% of fans polled prefer a starting lineup that includes Middleton in the playoffs.
- In regards to Prince’s far superior numbers as a starter, 39% think he’ll continue to have that same split, with most of them thinking they’re so good because he starts.
- An overwhelming majority (77%) do not want the Bucks to trade for Butler, even when considering their 0-8 record against the Knicks, Cavs, and Celtics.
- This was fascinating: 51% of voters think the Bucks should trade their 2031 first-round pick, and 49% say not under any circumstances.
- A plurality approves of Jon Horst currently, though both his and Doc Rivers’ ratings are very mixed, with a plurality undecided on Rivers. But neither has a higher disapproval figure than approval.
Thanks again for voting! Check back on Tuesday for another slate of questions.
