Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo has been at the center of offseason chatter. The Bucks star himself made cryptic remarks regarding his future in Milwaukee that fueled rumors. The offseason uncertainty linked him to several teams.
Among the franchises rumored to be potential landing spots for Giannis is the Miami Heat. However, former Heat guard Mario Chalmers expressed skepticism about the fit. He explained that the team would need to drastically adjust its roster to accommodate Giannis’ style of play.
“I don’t know. I just don’t see Giannis fitting. I won’t say Heat culture, but just the Heat team. You had to put a lot of shooters around him on that team, which I think is doable, but I just don’t see him going,” Chalmers said.
Instead, Chalmers suggested that Giannis would find a more natural fit with the Toronto Raptors.
“They’re more active. They’re more of an up and down team and they got a bunch of young hungry guys that like to run and get up and down,” he added.
The Bucks traded Damian Lillard this offseason. Since then, Giannis’ frustration boiled over. Sources indicate that the star forward is unhappy with Milwaukee’s decisions this offseason. It left the possibility open that Giannis could explore other opportunities.
