Since the Minnesota Timberwolves entered into the Giannis Antetokounmpo sweepstakes last week, I've been skeptical that they would be able to meet the Bucks' (understandably) high asking price. Recently, ESPN's Shams Charania provided an update on the race for Giannis.
"The Bucks are sifting through proposals specifically from the Heat, Wolves, Knicks, and Warriors," Shams said. "And throughout the whole process, the Bucks have wanted a young blue-chip talent and/or a surplus of draft picks. And so my understanding is the Warriors have made a pick-heavy offer. Minnesota is more of a player-centric offer, and Miami is somewhere in the middle, somewhere between players and picks.
