Heat won’t mortgage future for Giannis Antetokounmpo trade

The Heat remain interested in the possibility of acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo, but they are reportedly unwilling to sacrifice the majority of their roster and future assets to complete a deal, according to Anthony Chiang.

Miami is expected to be active in any potential Antetokounmpo discussions, though the organization appears focused on maintaining enough talent around its core if a trade were to happen.

“While three-time All-Star center Bam Adebayo is the only Heat player truly off the table in Antetokounmpo trade discussions, the Heat doesn’t want to gut its team and draft capital in a deal.”
