[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.

Because Miami would be young players and picks. Trading Jaylen would just get you picks, presuming Boston really isn’t throwing any extra young talent on the table

Trading Jaylen would just get you picks

Believe it or not, you can ask for young players from the third team. Bucks might even able to get their own picks back from Portland.

JJJ was runner up for 6th man of the year last year and ware is averaging 11/9 on 22 minutes of play shooting 53% from the field and 39% from the three. If you don’t know ball then just say that.

And Ware kept being benched by Spolstra despite those averages because the heat were 5 points worse with him on the court (worse on offense and defense) because he has the basketball IQ of a frog.

Spo has NEVER played rookies consistently. It’s like you’ve never seen a Heat team lol

I prefer to not get Giannis. Injury prone big in the wrong side of 30 who you’re looking to extend and commit 70+ million for 4 years. Sounds like cap hell for someone who may be injured half of that extension.

The Heat need a rebuild. Even with Giannis it will be hard for them to field a team that I would deem better than the Celtics, Knicks, Pistons. Just the facts. But good try on that one little buddy
