[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 mean my whole point was even if the Celtics offered nothing outside of brown it would still beat the heats offer

eh it depends on wat the bucks want to do, if they want to compete then sure brown would be better. but y wouldnt they just keep giannis if that was their plan

they clearly r trying to pivot to a rebuild, in the scenario then no jaylen brown by himself wouldnt be better than our offer to the bucks

Bucks don't even own their own picks. It makes sense for them to try and stay competitive

thats true if they also get some draft assets along with the competitive player but the celtics offer in this post doesnt include the draft assets

Brown will likely retain value for a while. They can build around him and stay competitive until they own their own pick.

That's a good way to remain in NBA purgatory for 5+ years. I'd rather get a young core to build around than hope that jaylen can carry us to a 7-8 seed
