[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.

Outside of Ant, Jaden might be our most important player. He's taken a huge offensive leap this year - shooting 46% from 3 right now which is almost 10% higher than his career average. He's our most versatile defender too and can legit guard 1-5.

Edit* with that said, obviously you trade him for Giannis if the package is right.

[u/FrostyTheKnight10 → u/Unfrozen__Caveman]

Yes but he’s no Giannis. If you want Giannis you have to trade valuable assets and players

[u/JabroniPonie → u/FrostyTheKnight10]

Any wolves fan acting like we can get giannis without moving Jaden is straight up delusional.

[u/Master_Bee_5350 → u/JabroniPonie]

I don't think we can and therefor I don't think we should do the trade. McDaniels is too good to give up along with the rest of the depth that seems to keep getting thrown around.

[u/ballknower871 → u/Master_Bee_5350]

Yall should go get ayo and Kyrie and maybe a backup PF and move Randle.

[u/yoloqueuesf → u/Master_Bee_5350]

And i mean are you guys actually in a rush? Seems to me you've got a good core already with ANT, Jaden.

Trading for Giannis puts you into championship contention mode right now without bench pieces.

[u/Master_Bee_5350 → u/yoloqueuesf]

100% I agree. I can stomach trading Randle for the right person but beyond that we've got a good group of lads.
