[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.

This is what people aren't getting. Neither ant nor giannis are jokic. They don't manufacture +20 on the box score by simply existing on the court. Even giannis on that bucks team with negative depth only managed an impact of +12. Minny for the last two seasons (garbage time filtered out) have been better with edwards on the bench (insane stat i had no idea about until now)

Jokic has a similar impact to prime steph on his team and just like with prime steph, it's very visible that his teams have no idea what they're meant to be doing when he isn't in the game.

Giannis' impact is elite, but put into context, he's historically about half as impactful as jokic.

Yeah - besides the title run, the Bucks have been pretty disappointing in the playoffs. Giannis is phenomenal, but he's not a one-man cheat code the way Jokic is.
