Bucks 2031 FRP is a premium asset. I don’t see anything premium in Milwaukee’s return.

Zero reason for the Bucks to be throwing in a 2031 unprotected 1st here. Maybe there's something workable if Utah sends back the 21st pick in this draft and/or some future draft assets, but ironically the Jazz helped set the market for a future pick this far out (essentially 3 protected 1st's for Phoenix's 2031 unprotected), so they of all teams should be aware that the value gap is pretty lopsided in their favor here.

No one is suggesting the better player to incentivize Giannis with though... if Giannis wants to use the '31 1st to improve as a last ditch effort before asking out then who is the target? Don't give a vauge answer, give a few specifics names

It's definitely not premium. Its 6 years away for starters and so nobody can have any idea where that pick lands.

What it has going for it is upwards variance. With no protections, you could potentially get a franchise changing player. Now the odds of that are very low so it can't be valued like that, but that adds to its value.

Its certainly not an asset that should be moved for one year of Colin Sexton, but we shouldn't overcorrect and think it returns the Bucks something really good either.

Is Kuzma and '31 for Cam Johnson better?

Yes. This is a deal both teams should strongly consider.
