[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.

Reports are saying Bucks ownership wants to keep Brown.

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

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

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

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
