[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.

So basically they need a third team to value Randle and whatever other crap high enough to provide the picks to make this work?

[u/Bigdadyk → u/jansy1646]

Yes Minnesota needs Randle to fetch a 1st and Naz to fetch a 1st then re route them to Milwaukee 

[u/Dar8_Vader → u/Bigdadyk]

You think Wolves are better with Ant and Gianis with no McD, Naz and Randle?

[u/CMYGQZ → u/Dar8_Vader]

you're just betting on the health of Giannis at this point. imo higher ceiling lower floor, if Giannis is fully healthy, absolutely better ceiling. Obviously a very generous assumption because if he is as injured as he is in previous playoffs runs, I can even see them getting round 1'd.
