Bucks trade Giannis Antetokounmpo to Heat in five-player deal

The Milwaukee Bucks traded Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat on June 23, 2026. In return, the Bucks received Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, and three first-round draft picks, including the No. 13 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. Analysts suggest Milwaukee waited too long to execute the trade and declined a prior offer from the Boston Celtics that included Jaylen Brown, raising questions about their decision-making process. The Bucks now face a crucial offseason as they reset their roster following the departure of a two-time MVP.
