The Miami Heat reportedly had a contingency trade framework ready for Giannis Antetokounmpo if he had requested to leave Milwaukee, though the package notably excluded Bam Adebayo. Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson reported that while the offer was serious, it was unlikely Milwaukee would have entertained it.
The proposed deal centered on multiple draft picks and key players such as Tyler Herro, Andrew Wiggins, and rising center Kel’el Ware.

ESPN’s Shams Charania added that the only team discussed with Bucks management during Antetokounmpo’s offseason talks was the New York Knicks, now led by coach Mike Brown after replacing Tom Thibodeau.
