The Miami Heat remain interested in acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo but currently must wait at least another year for a realistic opportunity. The Milwaukee Bucks signed Thanasis Antetokounmpo to a one-year deal for the 2025-26 season, signaling that Giannis is likely to remain with Milwaukee for the time being. The signing makes a near-term trade or Giannis demanding a trade unlikely, though a change could still occur next summer or if Giannis tests free agency in 2027. Miami has continued to delay major roster moves while waiting for the right moment to pursue top targets, with Giannis representing a long-rumored but never-official trade target. For now, the Heat's hopes for landing Giannis appear deferred rather than dead.
There are times when it's time to give up on the dream; the Miami Heat aren't there yet. But at least for now, it's now become abundantly clear that they're going to have to wait at least one more year for their dream to land Giannis Antetokounmpo to come to fruition. Of course, that's assuming it's still even a possibility for the team.
But if the team does believe the Giannis dream isn't quite dead, the Milwaukee Bucks' latest signing does indicate it may have to wait. The Bucks signed Giannis' brother, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, to a one-year deal for the 2025-26 NBA season. Even as Giannis continues to play the will he or won't he game, the signing of Thanasis is a pretty clear indication that he isn't going anywhere - for now.
