Greek star Giannis Antetokounmpo has completed a trade to the Miami Heat from the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday night.
Ending a marathon watch for the next great Miami get, the Heat landed Antetokounmpo—a two-time NBA MVP and 10-time All-Star—in exchange for a massive haul of players and draft picks.
The terms, according to a person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the move has yet to receive the required league approval, are as follows: Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis are heading to Miami in exchange for Wisconsin native Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel’el Ware, and Kasparas Jakucionis.
Milwaukee also gets at least four picks, including the No. 13 selection that will be made in Tuesday night’s NBA draft.
It ends a wild back-and-forth in the final days of the saga, with the Bucks considering offers from both Miami and Boston for Antetokounmpo—who led Milwaukee to the 2021 NBA title, was on the NBA’s 75th anniversary list of its greatest players ever, is a nine-time All-NBA selection, and is coming off an injury-shortened season where he averaged 27.6 points per game.
