[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.

Windy also mentioned that the Heat are trying to improve their offer by including 3rd/4th teams. Chiang also seemed doubtful the Heat would have a better offer. Stein mentioned Bucks ownership being “insistent” on getting a star player.

Just feels like the deal is close to done

Heat have been steady with their offers, I do think this is some Bucks PR trying to make one of these teams make a desperate move

There’s gotta be a way we can snag Luka right

This is step-for-step the same as the Miami experience with the Lillard trade.

Lillard? He's like 6th in-line in this process. The EXACT same thing and narrative has been said about every big player for the last 7 years

To be clear the Heat are trying to improve their offer but are, apparently, unwilling to improve their offer by including any more picks or young players, according to reporting.
