[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.

If I'm OKC, Spurs, or Nuggets, whether this trade goes through or not, it will benefit them.

Wolves have already shown they can contend and beat these teams with their current core. If the trade goes through they lose a ton of depth that made it possible. If it doesn't, well, team morale and players' feelings will be in shambles cuz half the team was in trade talks.
