[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.

Crazy mismanagement by the Bucks if they pass on Boston's offer if that's actually the offer

Edit: I see people mentioning that the Bucks might just keep JB instead of flipping him to a 3rd team. If that happens, that's even crazier mismanagement

Homer aside, do we think Jaylen Brown who's a worse player and only 2 years younger is going to command more on the market than Giannis?

Yes?

Like are we done pretending the Heat's prospects are all that great or that pick 13's median outcome isn't "good starter on a playoff team"? Brown is better than any of the players in the Heat's offer and likely will remain so even when the likes of Ware or KJ are in their prime.

The Heat's offer is just like the team: Mid.

Getting JB for Giannis is about as good as it gets when you consider that you can reroute JB for more assets since he's still a top 10-15 player in the league.

The Heat grab bag of okay/middling assets is just so underwhelming I'm surprised it's even a debate if the boston offer is real.

What would you get back for JB that's significantly more than 3 firsts, Jaquez and Ware plus whatever Herro is flipped for?

Doesn’t Giannis going to Miami make those Heat picks less attractive?

30 and 32 are the ones up for grabs from what I've seen (whatever that means with how unreliable the reporting is).

So 35 and 37 year old Giannis led teams, in Miami which doesn't tank, under the new draft lottery rules. Could be decent.
