Daniels would be in instead of NAW. But even with all the picks Hawks can actually trade, both Bucks and Giannis say no.
Daniels would not be in place of NAW, every time these trade deals come up everyone just assumes teams have to give their best assets out the door to land a disgruntled star when literally every single time a major star has been moved he's gone out for much less players than you would think.
Harden went to Brooklyn for Jarrett Allen, Taurean Prince, and Caris LeVert
KD went to Phoenix for Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson and Jae Crowder
no team has to give up every single good player to make the deal, the picks are what matters most of the time.
just look at the list:

so no, Daniels would not be sent out, NAW would be the best they can get because Risascher would be the rebuilding piece and Porzingis and NAW would be money and assets.
If you want the Bucks to laugh you off the phone. Sure.
Otherwise Daniels instead of NAW is required. And all those picks you didn’t list.
In a scenario where the Bucks are taking offers, almost assuredly, Giannis has asked out and would leverage his contract status to try and land exactly where he wants to be, which is usually only 2-3 locations that likely offer a winning situation, maybe a coach he likes and perhaps city characteristics (weather, size, glam) that are appealing to him.
In these scenarios, Giannis' perceived infinite trade value crashes back down to reality fairly quickly, which end up landing in the range of those deals that Godaymas listed. I doubt the Bucks would be laughing at all in that situation, because they would be a major inflection point for the franchise, and would need to be as stoic as possible for all potential deals.
There would be on the list and off the list bidders, but those teams, are certainly going to hold back certain pieces, because they absolutely must be able to compete immediately, which means win now players, particularly complementary players, like Dyson, would be withheld from offers. Good players that play the same role as Giannis would potentially be offered, and prospects that are pre prime. Picks would be the bulk of the offers.
Milwaukee will offer Giannis an extension next offseason, and if he declines, or in any way stalls or obfuscates, they need start shopping him immediately, but quietly, to try and maximize return. In all honesty, they should ask him about a future extension today, and if they don't get anything other than absolute commitment, like Jokic just gave, they should be looking to move him today. The returns today, would FAR outweigh next years returns. Teams simply can't afford to have an asset of that caliber walk out the door, or really, get to the point where they ask for a trade.
