"Acquiring Antetokounmpo, though, is challenging. The Bucks want Jaden McDaniels, a source tells SI, with Milwaukee seeing McDaniels, 25, as a potential future All-Star," Mannix reported. "But the Bucks also want multiple first-round draft picks, sources say, and Minnesota's war chest of them is nearly empty."
The Timberwolves are reportedly seeking help from third and fourth teams to facilitate a potential trade for Giannis, per ESPN's Brian Windhorst.
Antetokounmpo is reportedly a fan of Anthony Edwards and would like to join him if he leaves Milwaukee.
NBA reporter Evan Sidery adds that Minnesota's aggressive pursuit of Giannis is partly driven by the team's new ownership group, which includes Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez.
