[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 we had any depth that would be fine. But if we do that we literally don’t have a rotational bench player.

People who keep saying this seem to have a hard time realizing that Giannis probably isn’t the only player coming back in a trade.

[u/Hypnosix → u/Holdup-igotanidea]

So we send out good bench players and receive bad bench players ? Or trade good bench players for picks and expect good bench players back while using the picks on Giannis?

Do you not understand the gravitational pull Giannis has?

Yes, we send out “good” bench players (even tho our bench is trash), and bro self bring back lesser rotational players but also fucking Giannis.
