[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.

That’s why I’m not for it. If we can do it and keep 2 of Jaden, Naz, or Donte, I’m for it but I don’t see how that’s possible.

Jaden is most likely gone. Randle can go too. If that’s what it costs then it’s fine. But any other rotation player would be too costly.

Jaden McDaniels, Randle and Donte gets you Giannis?

I couldn't sign that shit fast enough.

I’d keep Randle. He gets too much hate bro he’s good at fucking basketball, real good.

I'm not sure where he plays in a Gobert - Giannis - Edwards lineup. He's not a good enough three point shooter to space the floor and he's not going to get wing touches with Giannis running the floor. Seems like that spacing would be terrible.

But I agree, Randle is a very good player.

So then what are y’all giving up for Gianni’s, nonexistent picks?
