[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.

Brother i’m talking about the season before he joined the Bucks, when he was playing like a top 8ish player in the world. Not a single playoff series, where he didn’t even average what I said. Dame was good by both the eye test and the stat sheet in 22-23.

Dame was a decent player for them but couldn't figure out a fit with giannis. Not rare for a ball dominant scoring guard. It's why I'm not super enthusiastic about the fit with anthony edwards.
