Big trade sends Giannis to Miami
LOS ANGELES — Two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Giannis Antetokounmpo is joining the Miami Heat from the Milwaukee Bucks, multiple US media outlets including ESPN reported on Monday.
Miami won a battle with the Boston Celtics for the signature of the 31-year-old Greek who won a championship with the Bucks in 2021.
ESPN reported that Miami will acquire Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis in a deal which sends Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kasparas Jakucionis in the other direction.
Milwaukee will also receive three first-round picks, a pick swap and a second round pick, ESPN reported.
The deal draws a line under months of speculation concerning Antetokounmpo’s future in Milwaukee.
The Greek star had openly vented frustration with Milwaukee’s management.
