"In a perfect world, the Miami Heat would be able to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks in a straight-up deal centered around Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, and two first-round picks. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world, and that's not going to be enough to acquire Giannis. However, according to Marc Stein and Jake Fischer, that's theoretically the Heat's starting point in trade discussions with the Bucks."
"The Heat's pursuit of Giannis could be a complicated one Obviously, the Heat have a pretty complicated path to Giannis. Especially considering that they only currently have two tradable first-round picks at their disposal. The Heat's chances of landing Giannis would certainly be a lot different if they had three or four first-round picks to trade. Of course, that doesn't mean that the Heat can't strike a deal for Giannis before the February 5 NBA Trade Deadline;"
"Theoretically speaking, the Heat have to be operating on multiple fronts over the next week. Not only do they have to maintain healthy communication with the Bucks, holding off opposing teams and suitors, but they also have to figure out a path to acquiring more draft capital to appease Milwaukee. The fact that they only have a few days to pull it off adds to the difficulty."
The Heat's theoretical opening offer centers on Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware and two first-round picks, with Terry Rozier's expiring contract and Andrew Wiggins available if needed. Andrew Wiggins could be rerouted to a third or fourth team to generate more draft capital for the Bucks. The Heat currently possess only two tradable first-round picks, making a Giannis trade significantly more difficult without acquiring additional draft assets. The team must operate on multiple fronts in the days before the February 5 trade deadline, while competing with the Warriors, Timberwolves and Knicks for Giannis.
