Giannis Antetokounmpo, a two-time NBA MVP and 10-time All-Star, is being traded to the Miami Heat from the Milwaukee Bucks. The trade includes Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis going to Miami in exchange for Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel’el Ware, and Kasparas Jakucionis, along with at least four draft picks, including the No. 13 selection in the upcoming NBA draft.
Trade Details
The Miami Heat have been seeking to add another superstar to their roster, and with this trade, they have achieved their goal. The Heat have a history of making big moves, including landing Shaquille O’Neal in 2004 and signing LeBron James and Chris Bosh in 2010.
Antetokounmpo, 31, is expected to receive a massive extension from the Heat later this year. He led the Milwaukee Bucks to the 2021 NBA title and is a nine-time All-NBA selection. Despite an injury-shortened season, Antetokounmpo averaged 27.6 points per game.
