Bucks agree to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo to Heat for Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, more: Report
Seeking a trade due to playoff frustration, Antetokounmpo departs Milwaukee for Miami, with the Bucks receiving four young players and three first-round picks.
- On Monday night, the Milwaukee Bucks agreed to trade franchise icon Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat for Tyler Herro, three first-round picks including the 13th selection in Tuesday's draft, and additional assets, sources said.
- Persistent team struggles, including a 32-50 record last season, prompted Antetokounmpo to request a trade multiple times between May 2025 and May 2026, leading the Bucks to negotiate with finalists Miami and Boston.

- Milwaukee general manager Jon Horst secured significant draft capital and young talent in the deal, while the Heat presume they will sign the Greek superstar to a massive extension later this year.
