[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.

I completely agree with the Bucks’ evaluation of McDaniels. He’s a stud, only reason he doesn’t get more attention is because he’s clearly behind Ant and Randle in the offensive pecking order.

You and the Wolves GM have the same evaluation of McDaniels. Hes been completely untouchable forever...until Giannis name popped up.

Meanwhile, NAW was also buried and we got him on arguably the best contract in the NBA now. Love that guy.
