"At the age of 32, newly announced first-time All-Star Norman Powell fortunately wouldn't align with a Bucks rebuild in a post-Giannis era anyway. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, they are searching for "young blue-chip talent" and/or draft picks in an Antetokounmpo haul. So Miami could potentially have a trio of Giannis, Adebayo and Powell to instantly contend with. But as Heat fans know too well, you still need role players to win an NBA championship."
"Ware and Herro seem to be the locks to be included in any hypothetical deal. Ideally, letting go of Jovic and Jakucionis would still leave Miami with a pair of strong rotation pieces that have had great years this season in Jaquez and Larsson. Jaquez has been an early Sixth Man of the Year candidate and Larsson has emerged as one of the team's biggest x-factors and glue guys."
Giannis Antetokounmpo could be traded before the NBA deadline, and Miami would consider offering nearly every non-Bam Adebayo player to acquire him. A Miami lineup of Giannis, Adebayo and Norman Powell would create immediate championship contention while still requiring quality role players. Milwaukee seeks young blue-chip talent and draft picks in return, making players such as Tyler Herro and Kel'el Ware likely components of any deal. Additional candidates include Jaime Jaquez Jr., Nikola Jovic, Kasparas Jakucionis and Pelle Larsson, with Jaquez and Larsson emerging as key rotation contributors and Larsson providing notable recent scoring, shooting and defensive production.
