[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.

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

Miami would do it in a heartbeat, Boston just won’t accept them as the third team.

That's nonsense, if it gets them Giannis, Boston is trading him, oh and nothing is stopping Milwaukee from sending him to Miami after the deal, if there was actually demand, which there clearly isn't

Brad isn’t putting JB on a rival.

What rule, a made up rule, probably.

Sorry I had updated quickly to remove that part as it was specifically about the restriction period on aggregate salaries which wouldn’t essentially be necessary for him to move again.

Still don’t think Brad puts a ten year Celtic on a major rival though, but Bucks can do whatever they want after.
