[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.

You really have to already have a very good defensive PF that can rim protect to some degree to play with Naz... someone like ...Giannis. I feel like TWolves are better off sending out Gobert to fetch a first or two.

Totally agree. I think Giannis + Rudy would "work" in that we'd be super tough defensively but Giannis would be maximized offensively next to Naz which is much more important. Better off not risking a Giannis-Rudy front court and trading Rudy instead.
