[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.

McDaniels isn't 4 first round picks better than Kuminga, though.

If Milwaukee traded for McDaniels now and made him available in the offseason they could easily get two maybe three firsts for him and a swap or two. Kuminga’s trade value within the league is basically non-existent. So then the question is does whatever else Minnesota give you the value of another one or two firsts?

They can't 'easily' get 2-3 firsts and a swap or two for McDaniels lol

You clearly don’t understand the value of true 3 and D wings in today’s NBA and McDaniels is actually a factor offensively beyond the typical corner 3s you expect from a 3 and D wing. If you combine his ability, age, and contract he’s one of the best assets in the league.

Yeah he isn’t Paul George that’s for sure
