Heat tried to include Davion Mitchell in Giannis trade talks

On June 23, 2026, the Miami Heat sought to involve point guard Davion Mitchell in a trade for star Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks declined to pursue the deal, citing an interest in players with longer contract durations. Instead, they secured Jakucionis, a 20-year-old guard with three years remaining on his rookie contract. This negotiation highlights the shifting dynamics as teams adjust their rosters in the offseason, particularly surrounding high-profile players such as Antetokounmpo. The Heat will continue to assess their options in building their roster for the upcoming season.
