Bucks GM details Giannis trade involving Heat's Jakucionis

Milwaukee Bucks general manager Jon Horst discussed the team's trade of Giannis Antetokounmpo during a media session in Las Vegas. He emphasized the importance of Miami Heat rookies Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Kasparas Jakucionis, and Jaime Jaquez Jr. in finalizing the deal. Horst stated that Miami's willingness to include these players, particularly Jakucionis, helped facilitate the trade that sees Antetokounmpo join the Bucks. The Bucks are working with the newly acquired players as they look to build a competitive team. Jakucionis is expected to participate in the Summer League games starting Friday.
