The Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors are emerging as frontrunners to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo ahead of the trade deadline this Thursday. Reports have surfaced detailing the offers from both franchises.
Miami Heat’s Proposal for Antetokounmpo
According to the well-informed Miami Herald, the Heat’s potential package for the Bucks includes:
- Tyler Herro
- Kel’el Ware
- Expiring contract of Terry Rozier
- Young players (possibly Jaime Jaquez)
- Two first-round picks (2030, 2032)
- Three first-round pick swaps (2026, 2029, 2031)
Herro, a 2025 All-Star, coupled with a promising young center and financial flexibility from Rozier’s contract, could entice Milwaukee to consider the offer. The Miami Herald also suggests the Heat might attempt to acquire a third first-round pick to strengthen their position.
Warriors Poised to Make a Bold Move
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors are reportedly the most aggressive team in pursuit of Antetokounmpo. They are prepared to go “all-in” with an offer that includes:
- Four first-round picks plus pick swaps
- Either Jimmy Butler or Draymond Green
- Young players such as Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, and Podziemski
The race between Miami and Golden State raises the question: which offer will be more appealing to the Bucks? A decision could be reached by Thursday evening.
