Teams like the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>, New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors<\/a> are linked to the perennial All-Star. However, Riley went viral with some notable moves that have fans thinking<\/a> Antetokounmpo will wear a Heat jersey soon.<\/p>\n

Seeing Riley that happy and moving around sometimes sends this smoke signal: The president of the Heat just completing a big move.<\/p>\n

All the more reason Antetokounmpo to Miami isn\u2019t out of the woods yet.<\/p>\n

Miami rose as a contender for the \u201cGreek Freak\u201d long before the NBA Trade Deadline reached its final week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen Pat Riley holding off assets through the years. They didn\u2019t offer up everything that they could for Kevin Durant. They\u2019ve been quiet when other stars have become available,\u201d Siegel began. \u201cAnd there was obviously the talk with Damien Lillard, would he be an option for them? Would they go all in for him? They\u2019ve kind of held back and waited for that big star to become available?\u201d<\/p>\n

Siegel answered with: \u201cWell, he could be available over the course of the next three weeks, and that\u2019s Giannis Antetokounmpo.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear there\u2019s a disconnect between the NBA Finals winner Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee in recent weeks. Now a Riley \u201cliving his best life\u201d could mean he just completed a blockbuster deal. This time for the 10-time NBA All-Star.<\/p>\n
