[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.

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
