The proposed trade would send Kel'el Ware, Tyler Herro, Andrew Wiggins, 2030 and 2032 first-round picks, and 2027, 2029, and 2031 first-round pick swaps to Milwaukee in exchange for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Acquiring Antetokounmpo would instantly elevate Miami into legitimate title contention given his status as a top-tier superstar. The cost includes losing an All-Star scorer, a promising rookie, a quality 3-and-D wing, and nearly all future draft capital. The likely starting five would boast elite talent but the bench would be severely depleted, raising concerns about depth, long-term flexibility, and sustainable roster construction.
In the trade, the Heat would send Ware, Tyler Herro, Andrew Wiggins, first-round picks in 2030 and 2032, and first-round pick swaps in 2027, 2029, and 2031. The deal would give the Heat a real chance to compete in the East, but at quite a cost. First and foremost, trading for Antetokounmpo would be a huge win for any team. He's one of the best players on the planet and a top-25 player of all-time.
But at what cost? Trading Ware is one thing. He had a solid rookie season and could turn into a great NBA player one day. But would he ever get to the level of Antetokounmpo? Almost definitely not. Herro is an All-Star and an impressive shot creator. He's the leader of Miami's current offensive structure. Wiggins is one of the better 3-and-D role players in the league.
