A 3-2-1 lottery reform proposal is set for a 3-2-1 vote, with expectations of passing and triggering a three-year test run. First-round picks in 2027, 2028, and 2029 would become more valuable, and teams finishing higher in the standings would gain better odds for top selections. Teams may become more cautious about trading away first-round picks, causing some suitors to drop out early. Miami is positioned to benefit because it wants Giannis and is perceived as having strong interest from him. A trade would also require confirmation that Giannis will sign an extension, and Milwaukee could still seek the best offer, potentially including players and draft assets.
"Milwaukee could prioritize securing the best possible offer, whether it focuses on a specific player or on more draft assets (maybe both. And if teams are less willing to part with assets over the next few years, Miami should stand out even more in an Antetokounmpo trade. It's simple to understand - the less competition, the better. Teams should've already been wary (including the Heat) about mortgaging their future for Giannis, who is 31 and has had a few injury-ridden seasons."
