Bucks trade Giannis Antetokounmpo to Heat after favoring Miami's offer
The Milwaukee Bucks traded Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat in a multi-player, draft-pick deal, according to ESPN. Earlier, the Miami Herald reported that the Heat and the Boston Celtics were the leading contenders in trade talks for Antetokounmpo as the NBA draft approached. The New York Times later noted that the Bucks had weighed offers that included a potential deal with Boston before settling on Miami's proposal. Hoops Rumors indicated that the Bucks ultimately favored the Heat's offer, which featured a first-round draft pick.
Yahoo Sports and The New York Times detailed that the Heat sent Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr. , and additional future draft selections to Milwaukee. The Ringer analyzed the transaction, saying the Heat gave up several young players and picks to acquire a 32-year-old star under the current CBA.
