"Even though much of the fan base wouldn't want to see this Giannis saga drag into the offseason, it's the one scenario that could help push the Heat's agenda forward. That's because, as NBA insider Jake Fischer points out, if the Bucks wait until the summer to shop Giannis on the trade market, that opens the door to the Heat putting an offer on the table that evolves from having just two tradable first-round picks to four."
"If we're being completely honest, the Heat don't currently have the ability to put a trade offer on the table that would seem fair for Giannis. In the scenario that Giannis demanded a trade now, and the Bucks opened the bidding war for him, the Heat wouldn't be near the top of the list of teams with the best offer."
Milwaukee's decision to delay trading Giannis until the summer would allow the Heat to expand their trade assets and potentially offer four tradable first-round picks. The Heat's current top trade proposal centers on Tyler Herro, their young core, two first-round picks, and multiple pick swaps, but that package is insufficient to match Giannis's market value. The Heat lack the immediate assets to present the most competitive offer if a bidding war opened now. Creative multi-team deals could bridge gaps, but a delayed timeline materially strengthens the Heat's ability to assemble a fairer, more compelling package.
