Bucks trading Giannis Antetokounmpo to Heat for haul of players, picks
The
Milwaukee Bucks are trading franchise icon
Giannis Antetokounmpo and
Bobby Portis to the
Miami Heat for
Tyler Herro,
Kel'el Ware,
Jaime Jaquez Jr.,
Kasparas Jakucionis, three first-round picks (including No. 13 in Tuesday's NBA draft), one pick swap and one second-round pick, sources told ESPN.
The Heat are sending to Milwaukee unprotected first-rounders in 2031 and 2033 along with No. 13, a pick swap in 2030 and a 2033 second-rounder, according to sources.
The trade does not include any additional teams -- it is a one-to-one move, sources said -- but both the Heat and Bucks will execute the deal on July 6, which leaves the framework open to see if there are opportunities to expand. Last June, the
Phoenix Suns and
Houston Rockets agreed to a deal that ultimately increased to a historic seven-team trade.
Heat president Pat Riley now makes his long-anticipated new landmark acquisition, with Antetokounmpo joining elite Miami pickups such as
LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Bosh, Alonzo Mourning and Jimmy Butler over the past 30-plus years. Riley will pair the two-time NBA MVP and 2021 Finals MVP with
Bam Adebayo to lead contention in the Eastern Conference.
