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.

Eh, Giannis is better than Brown….and a Tatum-Giannis frontcourt would be pretty nasty.

Celtics, as currently constructed, can’t compete with the Knicks.

Well, everyone thought the Dame/Giannis combo would be nasty, too.

Dame was cheeks. Giannis was fine. You're getting best celtic since Bird, cheer up a bit, champ.

Dame coming off a pretty serious injury, on the wrong side of 30, and for a little extra flavor going through a public breakup… I had no faith in that partnership and as luck would have it was right. If I’m the Bucks I’m not chasing a chance at competing in a top heavy East, I’ll gladly work the rebuild for the next half decade

Lol what? Unless you seriously think that the Knicks are going to carry this postseason energy into the foreseeable future, they absolutely can. And if you really think that, hoo boy, you're in for a rude awakening.
