There is no denying that Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> star Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the highly sought-after players<\/a> ahead of free agency. After another disappointing season with the Bucks, there are rumors that he could be traded over the summer. The Miami Heat has emerged as a potential trade destination<\/a> for Antetokounmpo.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, NBA reporter Brandon \u201cScoop B\u201d Robinson said that the Heat isn\u2019t only targeting Antetokounmpo. Robinson mentioned two-time champion Kawhi Leonard<\/a> as another star the franchise will go after in the offseason.<\/p>\n

The Heat said at the end of the season that it will actively look for a star for the next campaign. Given that both Antetokounmpo and Leonard had underwhelming seasons, they could be on the move this summer.<\/p>\n

Robinson appeared on Fox Sports Radio\u2019s \u201cThe Odd Couple with Rob Parker and Kelvin Washington,\u201d and brought up the idea of the Heat potentially going for both stars.<\/p>\n

Robinson proposed a three-team deal with the Heat, Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers<\/a> to land both All-Stars. He said that it would require a massive reshuffling of assets.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn this scenario, the Miami Heat would emerge as the ultimate destination for elite star power, landing both multi-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks and two-time Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard from the Los Angeles Clippers. This instantly transforms South Beach into the most formidable championship powerhouse in the league.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robinson also said that the Heat might have to hollow out their depth to make such a deal possible.<\/p>\n

There were rumors that Giannis Antetokounmpo could be a trade target for the Boston Celtics. However, ESPN\u2019s Brian Windhorst shut the rumors down and said that he has not heard that the Celtics are part of Antetokounmpo\u2019s preferred list. Windhorst also reported that the Greek Freak isn\u2019t ready to sign a contract extension.<\/p>\n

However, the ESPN reporter said that there\u2019s still a chance for him to become a reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow let\u2019s have a discussion,\u201d Windhorst said. \u201cBut I haven\u2019t heard that. Just because I haven\u2019t heard doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not true. But until those two things are true, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s really something that\u2019s in the world of reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

So far, the Heat is reportedly the frontrunner in terms of the Antetokounmpo sweepstakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There is no denying that Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the highly sought-after players ahead…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":755420,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3778],"tags":[1179,7,75,123,144,529,135,295,189,3881,121,6,558,894,1176,476],"class_list":["post-755419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami-heat","tag-bam-adebayo","tag-basketball","tag-boston-celtics","tag-giannis-antetokounmpo","tag-heat","tag-kawhi-leonard","tag-los-angeles-clippers","tag-miami","tag-miami-heat","tag-miamiheat","tag-milwaukee-bucks","tag-nba","tag-norman-powell","tag-robinson","tag-the-heat","tag-toronto-raptors"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116712435010436330","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755419","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=755419"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755419\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/755420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=755419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=755419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=755419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
