Middleton at $30 mil would maybe be a bargain, at least in the short-term. In the short-term, that would tie him for the 41st highest paid player in the league (and he'd likely continue to go down in future years as other player's salaries increase). Guys currently making $28-35 million per year include, starting at $35 mil and working down:

How many of those guys are even better than Middleton right now? I've bolded the ones that I think are better. Jamal Murray, Jrue, and Bam are more debatable.

Point being, $30 million isn't what you think it is, or Middleton isn't who you think he is.
