He may have more value, but its more about what the Bucks are looking for.  They are in a similar position as us (except they have no Flagg).  This is their only chance to reset given the lack of control of their future picks.  They are going to want long term players and picks.  I can't see them interested in a significant portion of the value coming back being an oft injured almost 33 year old player.

Well we don't really know what the Bucks are looking for. Just that they aren't looking for KAT. Which makes sense given that he's a 2nd option center getting paid 60 mil a year who is an offense only player.

You can make the argument that AD's salary might be prohibitive for the Bucks, but he's worth his contract more than KAT, and he's a much, much better player. MIL has no incentive to tank given their pick situation. And the fact all of their picks are sprinkled around the league it makes it difficult for them to even fix that.

AD makes more sense for them than KAT at the very least.
