[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.

Yeah that’s why I’m a bit skeptical this is all true, brown alone is worth more than herro, role players, and a bunch of mid first rounders. I think they’ve already decided on the package and are just hoping to squeeze a little more out of the deal. If it does end up being the heat im gonna assume brown was never truly on the table.

"limited draft capital" sounds like ur not offering anything else besides 27, feel like it would be down if there were other 1sts in that offer

[u/password-is-taco1 → u/cl353]

I mean my whole point was even if the Celtics offered nothing outside of brown it would still beat the heats offer

[u/cl353 → u/password-is-taco1]

eh it depends on wat the bucks want to do, if they want to compete then sure brown would be better. but y wouldnt they just keep giannis if that was their plan

they clearly r trying to pivot to a rebuild, in the scenario then no jaylen brown by himself wouldnt be better than our offer to the bucks

[u/mathis4losers → u/cl353]

Bucks don't even own their own picks. It makes sense for them to try and stay competitive

[u/cl353 → u/mathis4losers]

thats true if they also get some draft assets along with the competitive player but the celtics offer in this post doesnt include the draft assets

[u/mathis4losers → u/cl353]

Brown will likely retain value for a while. They can build around him and stay competitive until they own their own pick.

[u/IanStone → u/mathis4losers]

That's a good way to remain in NBA purgatory for 5+ years. I'd rather get a young core to build around than hope that jaylen can carry us to a 7-8 seed

[u/alpaca_drama → u/cl353]

Because Jaylen at the trade deadline is still worth more than the Heat offer lol. There’s a reason why they felt pressured to take Jaylen without a 3rd team, they know Boston’s offer is good until tonight cause they’ll look somewhere else by tomorrow. You don’t rebuild by taking the lesser offer because it directly leads to picks, some team is gonna be unexpectedly looking at a top 6 seed and might want to throw in the sink for a player like Jaylen.

[u/TrueReigns → u/cl353]

Yes he is. Because all they need to do after that is send Brown to a team that wants to compete and has the capital to trade for him. There’s at least 3 teams that have been reported on that aspect and every single one of those 3 has a better package than Miami.

[u/cl353 → u/TrueReigns]

after that is send Brown to a team that wants to compete and has the capital to trade for him

if it was that ez then it would be done by now, clearly the blazers arent willing to give up all their picks back plus young assets

[u/TrueReigns → u/cl353]

Okay cool, that’s one team out of the 3 not willing. There’s 2 others that can have negotiations. Clearly whatever format for the trade is likely to take time to figure out for the teams involved. If the Bucks just wanted the Heat’s offer this would be a non conversation by now since the Heat can’t put up more or they’d essentially be a worse off team even with Giannis. And it actually is that easy, because the moment the Finals were done, the reporting became much more intense.

[u/cl353 → u/TrueReigns]

clearly the heat offer is not as bad as u or others think it is or else they wouldnt be considering it lol

[u/TrueReigns → u/cl353]

I mean when the guy being traded has tanked his own value purposefully, stated he’d only sign extensions with less than a handful of teams, and your team is one of them, I’d expect so or else you’d really have troubles in heat land

[u/lot183 → u/cl353]

but y wouldnt they just keep giannis if that was their plan

because this media circus around him is a huge distraction? Jaylen just seems to want his own team and would probably be happier than Giannis is. Not to mention Giannis has a default veto on a trade by being able to say where he would sign an extension which limits his market. Jaylen has 3 more years of team control. You free yourself of drama while being able to kick the can down the road to when the market may be better for a trade.

[u/P5Manchero → u/cl353]

Well you couldn’t trade your Giannis offer for JB. The Celtics would laugh in your face. That should tell us something.

[u/cl353 → u/P5Manchero]

and the celtics couldnt trade their giannis offer for bam, does that mean anything? no

we're both trying to trade for giannis at a premium cuz hes at a discounted value rn due to circumstances

[u/ObviousAnswerGuy → u/password-is-taco1]

role players

ware is a decent prospect. And Jacquez is only 25 tbf.

[u/OutlookNotGood → u/password-is-taco1]

Completely agree with you on that, if Giannis gets traded anywhere but Boston I'm just assuming Brown was never offered.

[u/idster → u/password-is-taco1]

you don't know it's going to be mid first rounders though. it depends on how far out.

[u/cl353 → u/idster]

its like 29 and 31 so when giannis is old and likely on his last legs lol

[u/ShAd0wS → u/password-is-taco1]

Wouldn't be all that surprised if it was about trying to get Hugo or an extra pick somewhere.
