"This is not exactly breaking news if you've been closely following the Heat over the last couple of years. In fact, the Heat have been linked to Giannis for years now. It started back in 2020, when he was deciding whether to sign a long-term deal with Milwaukee or explore other options. Ultimately, Giannis decided to sign long-term with the Bucks, and it led to a championship in 2021."
"Since then, though, the Heat have been keeping one eye on Giannis. They may have a real shot at him during the summer, when Giannis will have to make a similar decision about his future. This time, though, there is wide speculation that expect Giannis and the Bucks to part ways. It's far from a guarantee, especially with the way Giannis has been speaking of late, but it's probably the closest we've ever been to this happening."
Miami Heat view acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo as their offseason priority if he becomes available, planning to use expanded draft capital in summer trade talks. The franchise has monitored Giannis since 2020, when he weighed a long-term decision with Milwaukee and later signed a deal that led to the 2021 championship. The Heat have preserved assets and avoided committing major pieces to other pursuits, including an aggressive chase for Ja Morant, to maintain flexibility for a potential Giannis trade. Uncertainty surrounds Giannis's relationship with the Bucks, but Heat leadership appears prepared to assemble a significant offer if a window opens.
