Khris Middleton's future with the Washington Wizards doesn't have an expiration date, but since the beginning of the season it's become abundantly clear that his departure is closer than it may seem.
The veteran forward entered the season looking to prove that not only could he be a difference maker in the development of the young core on the roster, but that he still has plenty left in the tank.
After picking up his lucrative player option this offseason, Washington was seemingly stuck with Middleton for the foreseeable future considering the fact that no contending team would be willing to move contracts around or take on steep deal of Middleton's under nearly any scenario.
