The Miami Heat have acquired two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks in a blockbuster trade, according to a source familiar with the deal. The trade, finalized Monday night, sends Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to Miami in exchange for a package centered on Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel'el Ware, and Kasparas Jakucionis.
Trade Details
ESPN reports that the Bucks will also receive the Heat's No. 13 pick in this year's draft, unprotected first-round selections in 2031 and 2033, a pick swap in 2030, and a 2033 second-round selection. The deal ends days of speculation, with the Bucks weighing offers from both Miami and the Boston Celtics.
Antetokounmpo's Impact
Antetokounmpo, 31, led the Bucks to the 2021 NBA championship and is a nine-time All-NBA selection. Despite an injury-shortened season, he averaged 27.6 points per game. The Heat, who have a history of blockbuster trades—landing Shaquille O'Neal in 2004 and LeBron James and Chris Bosh in 2010—now add another superstar to their roster.
The Heat are expected to offer Antetokounmpo a massive contract extension later this year, signaling their commitment to building around the Greek star for years to come.
