"For the sake of this exercise, we won't include Bam Adebayo. They're not trading their three-time All-Star no matter what; plus, his presence would be one of the Heat's foremost selling points for the two-time MVP. Here's what they can include: Three first-round picks (their No. 13 overall pick on draft night only, plus two between years 2030-33; cannot be back-to-back seasons) First-round pick swaps between 2029-33, excluding seasons where their FRPs are moved. Two second-round picks (No. 41 overall, 2033)"
"To avoid hard-capping itself below the second apron, the Heat would have to send out more salary than they receive back. Thus, a deal for Antetokounmpo, who's making $58.5 million this year, would have to include Tyler Herro, plus a combination of Nikola Jovic, Davion Mitchell - an underrated asset for Miami - and Jaime Jaquez Jr. Though the Heat would likely have to hard-cap themselves by use of the mid-level exception - by using more than the taxpayer's portion - if they want to field a strong team around Antetokounmpo."

The Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo is a potential trade target, with a resolution ideally occurring before the next NBA Draft. The Miami Heat’s hypothetical package excludes Bam Adebayo. Miami could include three first-round picks, two second-round picks, and first-round pick swaps across several years with restrictions on timing. The Heat could also offer Tyler Herro and a group of other players with varying salaries. To avoid going below the second apron, Miami would need to send out more salary than it receives back, meaning a deal would likely require Herro plus additional players such as Nikola Jovic, Davion Mitchell, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. Hard-capping might be necessary to build a strong roster around Antetokounmpo.
