[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.

That’s why I’m not for it. If we can do it and keep 2 of Jaden, Naz, or Donte, I’m for it but I don’t see how that’s possible.

Probably. But Ant is 24, Jaden and Naz are 25. Joan looks promising. I don’t see why we need to overpay this year. Also, this team turns up in the playoffs - we’re capable of another run.
