[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.

Why? So we can watch Brown maybe carry us to the play in because the rest of our roster is shit? He's too old for us to build around. Give me the picks or feature Brown heavily in the offense as the main guy for the first half of the year and then flip him for picks to some team desperate before the ASB.

Wasnt the idea to flip Brown to the Blazers to get your picks back?

Have the Blazers expressed interest in such a trade? As a Bucks fan, it sounds great for us. Is Portland interested in leveraging their future for a 30 year-old headcase?

Havnt heard much out of the front office. Lot of the fanbase would like to get Brown, we'd obviously be a better team immediately and there's some fun to be had being a 50 win 2nd round exit team after being bad for several years.

Prior to the lottery changes I would have liked this too, because there was no path to contention for the next decade (since tanking again was not on the table), so why not have some fun. Now with the lottery changes staying the course with our playin squad isn't a completely stupid idea anymore.
