The Miami Heat continue to be viewed as one of the strongest contenders for Giannis Antetokounmpo should the Milwaukee Bucks decide to move him.

Miami has the ability to build an offer around Tyler Herro and a collection of younger assets that includes Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kasparas Jakucionis.

However, rival executives believe teams such as the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic could potentially surpass Miami’s proposal if they are willing to include stars like Evan Mobley or Paolo Banchero.

The Boston Celtics have also resurfaced in league rumors this week, further expanding the list of teams being linked to Antetokounmpo as the draft draws closer.

While trade speculation continues to intensify, Antetokounmpo has maintained his long-standing approach by avoiding any public trade request or declaration of preferred destinations.
