"It's unlikely to believe that the Miami Heat will have the best offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo on the table, but they could have an intriguing trade chip that they could include that would interest the Milwaukee Bucks: Terry Rozier. Rozier is not a blue-chip trade asset that the Bucks would demand in a trade with the Heat, but he's a piece that would help clean up the books for Milwaukee."
"If the Bucks are looking for a path to save money, Rozier's contract could be perfect. Even if Rozier's contract isn't voided by the NBA by the end of the year, he's an expiring deal that would come off the books this summer. As the trade saga for Giannis begins, it's unclear what exactly the Bucks would be seeking in a deal. However, you'd almost have to assume that draft picks, young players, and financial flexibility will be near the top of their asking price."
"And if the Bucks do go based on a Giannis wishlist, you'd have to assume that the Heat are going to factor in to a certain extent. Will they be in Giannis' top 5? Top 3? It's anyone's guess at this point, but it'd be shocking if the Heat were among the teams that Giannis would at least express some interest in."
The Miami Heat lack the top offer to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo but possess Terry Rozier as an intriguing trade chip. Rozier's expiring contract would help Milwaukee clear salary and provide financial flexibility if the Bucks aim to save money. Milwaukee likely will seek draft picks, young players, and cap space in any Giannis trade, though letting Giannis create his own market remains possible. Miami currently has only two tradable first-round picks because of the Rozier trade, making it harder to assemble a high-value package before the deadline. More roster and pick maneuvering would be needed to compete for Giannis.
