If the regular season ended today, Antetokounmpo and Co. wouldn\u2019t even be in the NBA play-in tournament.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Heat are 21-20. They are in eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best players in NBA history, Antetokounmpo is making $54.1 million this season. He has a player option worth $62.8 million for the 2027-28 season. The Greek Freak doesn\u2019t have a no-trade clause in his contract.<\/p>\n<p>Antetokounmpo holds career averages of 24.1 points, 9.9 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game. If he wants to win another championship, the superstar has to request a trade. Let\u2019s see if he has the courage to do it. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dallashoopsjournal.com\/p\/category\/nba\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Latest NBA News &amp; Rumors<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A four-player NBA trade proposal sending Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Miami Heat has been&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":543664,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3775],"tags":[7,103,123,189,102,121,3871,6,3101,6050],"class_list":{"0":"post-543663","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-milwaukee-bucks","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-bucks","10":"tag-giannis-antetokounmpo","11":"tag-miami-heat","12":"tag-milwaukee","13":"tag-milwaukee-bucks","14":"tag-milwaukeebucks","15":"tag-nba","16":"tag-nba-news","17":"tag-nba-rumors"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115912948171826398","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543663","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=543663"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543663\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/543664"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=543663"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=543663"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=543663"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
