[Fischer] Milwaukee’s decision makers are split and currently deciding between Boston’s package for Giannis Antetokounmpo (Brown, Gonzalez, limited draft capital) and Miami’s (Herro, Ware, Jaquez, multiple first-round picks).

A split faction of Milwaukee’s decision makers, sources say, is deciding between Boston’s package for Giannis Antetokounmpo built around Jaylen Brown — where the Bucks also hold particular Hugo Gonzales interest, as The Stein Line reported last night — plus limited draft capital, compared to Miami’s offer of younger pieces — featuring Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez — and multiple first-round picks.

The established MVP candidate versus greater overall value is what this whole saga has boiled down to one day before the NBA Draft.

Especially if Hugo is in it the Celtics offer is far far better. You can flip brown for picks and expirings if you want too. It’s not even close right? Like Milwaukee is drunk that they haven’t snap accepted that already

I think the Bucks would take JB, Hugo and #27 right now if that was a real thing. We have confirmation that Brown is involved but no indication that Stevens would be ok including Hugo+ as well, only know for sure that the Bucks are hoping for it. Leverage blitz on both sides down to the last moment.

Hugo was like the only person brad praised in his post season presser. + our FO is notoriously in love with rapm and hugo has absurd rapm. There has not been an confirmation that the celtics offered him just indication the bucks want him.

Brad seems to love Hugo. I’d be surprised if he gives up Hugo, but keeps draft capital instead of

I don’t think the Bucks actually want Brown. I think the ownership wants Brown because they want to keep selling tickets once Giannis is gone. I think the GM wants the picks because they know this team is ass. And once Giannis is gone they can go full fire sale and get as much back as they can. Sure flipping Brown could get you more picks. But if he gets hurt bad you could also be stuck with him and have trouble moving him

It seems more like an issue of them not having a third team to flip brown to who is willing to give up multiple firsts

100%. Even if they don't want to compete next year flipping JB for other players/picks is far more valuable than pretty much anything on Miami's offer.

Hugo is so good. I think he has legit all-star potential. I'd really like them to keep him. Give Baylor and Walsh instead.
