Giannis Antetokounmpo joins Miami Heat in major trade
The players and draft-pick package in the deal with Milwaukee Bucks has not been disclosed.
Giannis Antetokounmpo has officially joined Miami Heat after Milwaukee Bucks agreed to a trade that ends 13 months of transfer speculation. A report on the NBA website said the deal package involves several players and draft-pick rights, but the details have not been released. The Greek forward's move immediately reshapes the competitive landscape for the 2026-2027 NBA season. For Heat, the trade marks a major step toward another title push after several seasons of staying competitive in the Eastern Conference. For Bucks, Antetokounmpo's departure closes one era. Since being drafted in the 2013 NBA Draft, he had been the club's main face, winning two regular-season MVP awards, leading Bucks to the 2021 NBA title, and earning Finals MVP as the team captured its first trophy in 50 years.
