Miami Heat Acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo in Blockbuster Trade with Milwaukee BucksPreviousNext

The Miami Heat have acquired NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and veteran Bobby Portis from the Milwaukee Bucks in a major trade finalized on July 6. In return, Milwaukee received Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, the No. 13 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, and multiple future draft picks. This trade ends Giannis's era in Milwaukee, where he became the franchise's all-time leader in several categories and led them to a 2021 NBA championship.
