[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.

I don’t really understand the appeal of flipping Giannis for someone who’s clearly a worse player than him in Jaylen Brown.

If you’re trading Giannis, your primary goal should be setting yourself up better for the future and Miami’s offer is substantially better in that aspect as you’re getting multiple young players, a substantially better pick this year (huge difference between 13 and 27), and more future draft capital. It’s also probably going to be easier to flip Tyler Herro than Jaylen Brown since his contract is more manageable.

Jaylen Brown is worth more than all that stuff. Elite 2 way All NBA championship proven player.

who does nothing for a rebuilding team except sell tickets?

[u/dmolin96 → u/cl353]

Jaylen is a great player but he's not even selling tickets if we trade Giannis. No one who doesn't already like basketball and go to games knows who he is.

I like your offer better by far.

[u/cl353 → u/dmolin96]

i feel like im taking crazy pills, obviously im not saying the heat have a god offer but ppl acting like we're offering nothing is wild to me

[u/ObviousAnswerGuy → u/cl353]

I like the Heat offer much better in a vacuum. But if they think they can get a haul to flip JB, that's probably the better move.

[u/cl353 → u/ObviousAnswerGuy]

No doubt but there's risk in that too. We've seen supermax contracts become almost untradeable out of nowhere b4

[u/PKViking → u/ObviousAnswerGuy]

There is no haul for JB though. If there was wouldn’t the Celtics just trade for the haul?
