Giannis Antetokounmpo could emerge as a major summer trade destination, with the Miami Heat positioned as a top option if a trade occurs. Competition is expected, including an aggressive push from the Cleveland Cavaliers, especially if their conference finals run ends in a sweep. New York leads Cleveland 2-0, though the series could have been tied after Cleveland’s Game 1 collapse. Cleveland lost Game 2 109-93 and faces a more urgent situation because Donovan Mitchell will be extension-eligible this summer. Cleveland may attempt to keep Mitchell by pursuing Antetokounmpo, potentially offering Evan Mobley and draft assets to Milwaukee, a price the Bucks previously demanded but Cleveland declined.
"As Jake Fischer of The Stein Line previously reported, Cleveland was one of the teams that reached out to Milwaukee about Antetokounmpo before the deadline (subscription required). The Bucks wanted Mobley and the Cavaliers' draft assets, a price they weren't willing to match then. Maybe that stance could change this summer."
