One source briefed on the process, confirming discussions between the teams after this story posted, indicated that Milwaukee is unwilling to swap Portis for Williams straight up, meaning that a simple one-for-one trade construction would likely have to be expanded to include other players to advance these talks.
I suspect Milwaukee would like to turn Connaughton and Portis into GWill and something (with that something being less expensive and a good defender). It doesn't have to be a Mav's player though since we don't have much you'd consider less expensive and a good defender that we could afford to give up. Seems like a third team is needed here.
