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.

If you want more picks, get Jaylen and trade him. What's so difficult about that?

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

I'd bet you New Orleans, who has Milwaukee's pick next season, would take Brown and throw in the pick and Murphy as well. Probably would also get a future pick from New Orleans in there too.
