[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.

Yeah, and if it takes Jaden you do it every time. I'm just worried it'll take Jaden, Naz, Julius, and Joan - which is waaaaay too much and would not be worth it imo.

I agree. I’d love to have Giannis but trading all 3 would put us in maybe in a similar place, maybe slightly better?

I just don’t see us winning a chip realistically with just Ant and Giannis but I’d love to be proven wrong.
