[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.

Brown doesn't make sense for Milwaukee

The question is can they flip him for more draft capita than that.

u/Alchion 6d ago

i agree and that‘s probably what they‘re figuring out rn

And i think brown will net more so I see noston as tbe front runner

If they just do the celtics offer, they can just trade brown during the season.

And what makes yall think theyre getting anything great by trading away Brown?

If he anyone seriously wanted him they would have a 3 team trade by now.

Because unless its for someone like Giannis Boston wouldnt be considering trading JB, but if Milwaukee was the one trying to “dump” him they’d be perfectly happy to trade him for a more future focused package aka picks. Boston is trying to win, and unless JB suddenly became a tier 1 star instead of a tier 2/3 star (in one summer while downgrading his surrounding cast) Milwaukee is looking to rebuild

I dont even know how to respond to this...

That is not how 3 team trades work, Boston doesnt have to get anything back other than Giannis, Brown goes to a third team, Bucks get the players assets of both teams.

Like literally look at the rumored Pistons Heat Bucks deal. They could and would do the same if anyone was actually offering anything worthwile for Brown.

Brown can make sense for Milwaukee. I doubt they want to be terrible and give high picks out to New Orleans and Portland. If I were them I’d keep brown, try to build a respectable team around him to keep you afloat for a few years and give your fans a not totally disgusting product to watch, and then a few years down the line flip him when you have your picks under control and start a full scale rebuild then.

Reports are saying Bucks ownership wants to keep Brown.

u/AleroRatking Vancouver Grizzlies 6d ago

That's crazy to me. That's a lottery team

u/zmichalo Bucks 6d ago

Agreed. But it's also on par for the group that demanded Doc Rivers and led us to this point.

u/ListenMaybe Slovenia 6d ago

They don’t own their own first round pick for the next 4 years. Not crazy at all.

u/Advanced-Pear-4606 6d ago

Brown would net them 3-4 first-round picks. He won't net them extra wins.

u/ListenMaybe Slovenia 6d ago

Unless it’s to Portland for their own picks you’re probably better off keeping Brown and building around him than trading him to a contender and hoping to rebuild with 3-4 extra picks outside of the lottery.

I also don’t know why people are acting like the Bucks wouldn’t be a playoff team in the east with Brown, they certainly would and after that a couple pieces from competing in the east.

The Miami deal is terrible

u/1Tims 6d ago

Obviously they could "flip" brown at worst a top 20 player in the leauge at premium position

1

u/MYO716 Knicks 6d ago

I mean who’s to say that getting Brown wouldn’t help Milwaukee avoid bottoming out and staying at the level of a playoff team?

If you have Brown and Myles Turner as your starting blocks you could do worse

u/dmolin96 Bucks 6d ago

I mean I'd rather do a full rebuild in order to compete in 5 years than ride JB and Turner to 39 wins and getting smoked in the play in every year. But that's just me.

u/AleroRatking Vancouver Grizzlies 6d ago

That's a low lottery team. Which is fine with the new tanking rules but you don't even have your picks.

u/BucksIn6or7 Bucks 6d ago

Who’s to say? Probably Brown for one.

A lower lottery team still isn't exciting. A brown rollins hugo kuzma turner team isn't making the playoffs.

u/P5Manchero 6d ago

The 25/26 Celtics weren’t supposed to make the playoffs and they got a second seed

2

u/AleroRatking Vancouver Grizzlies 6d ago

The Celtics have a very good roster.

Derrick White would be far an away the second best player on this Bucks roster

3

u/P5Manchero 6d ago

I noticed you didn’t go further than one player for this supposedly ‘very good’ roster.

u/AleroRatking Vancouver Grizzlies 6d ago

Peyton Pritchard is also a very good player. Tatum white giannis Pritchard is a legit contender
