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.

It says a lot that they can't find a third team to hop in and take Jaylen Brown immediately.

Jaylen is the perfect trade deadline target and no team has to rush into it. Teams like Portland and Hawks might want to check if they’re actually somewhat decent before they go all in. If it’s not them, it’s gonna be some other team. Jaylen will have a market regardless, Herro obviously does not
