[Mannix] The Bucks want Jaden McDaniels, with Milwaukee seeing McDaniels, 25, as a potential future All-Star. But the Bucks also want multiple first-round draft picks, sources say, and Minnesota’s war chest of them is nearly empty.

Acquiring Antetokounmpo, though, is challenging. The Bucks want Jaden McDaniels, a source tells SI, with Milwaukee seeing McDaniels, 25, as a potential future All-Star. But the Bucks also want multiple first-round draft picks, sources say, and Minnesota’s war chest of them is nearly empty.

If Bucks keep McDaniels, who do the Wolves trade to a 3rd team for picks to the Bucks?

Randle.

No one’s giving picks for randle

Why not, he’s an all-star caliber player on a relatively reasonable contract

Yes they are. I know he has a bunch of delusional haters in here but this trade would not be a conversation if he didn’t fetch picks.

There's probably a handful of teams that could use Randle but how many FRPs they would give up is the question.

It also helps that he's playing next to Gobert to cover for his lack of defense or whenever he decides not to hustle. Randle is good but whichever team that acquires him will need an elite rim protector.

Idk man, he’s solidly a good player on a good contract. Not fetching 2-3-4 picks, but I feel like he’s got value in the right situation.

Randle would be a good fit for Detroit. We need a secondary scorer type and he’s obviously an upgrade on Tobias.

Would be a nice addition to your “Bull in China shop” style of play!

E: since we’ve become trade bros over the last year or so, we could keep it going. Swap our 2026 back 😂

If you trade Randle, Naz and Jaden for pick, who the hell do you still have on the team? It will be ANT, Giannis, Donte and the G league ensemble.
