"Giannis Antetokounmpo has been a pipe dream trade target for the Miami Heat since 2020, and the stars may finally be aligning in their favor as the smoke surrounding his potential availability continues to develop heading into this next trade season. I wouldn't expect the Heat to be considered the "favorites" for Giannis in the event that he were to hit the trade block, but it'd be foolish to suggest that Miami isn't going to play at least some factor in his sweepstakes."
"As NBA insider Jake Fischer notes, the Heat have had interest in Giannis since 2020, when there were some whispers that he was eyeing a move to Miami or Dallas. In the end, the Milwaukee Bucks made the necessary all-in moves to persuade him to keep trusting the process. It resulted in a championship in 2021, but much of that magic is gone."
Giannis Antetokounmpo has been a Miami Heat trade target since 2020, with initial whispers linking him to Miami or Dallas before Milwaukee convinced him to stay. Milwaukee’s 2021 championship followed those moves, but the team’s current trajectory has diminished that momentum. The prospect of a Giannis trade increasingly appears possible, potentially sooner than the offseason if the Bucks’ season worsens and Giannis grows impatient at 31. The Heat should view themselves as viable contenders for his services, alongside the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers, while younger teams like OKC and San Antonio seem unlikely to dismantle their cores.
