Just an hour after Giannis Antetokounmpo’s shocking and emotional “goodbye” to the Milwaukee Bucks, the official announcements of the mega-trade with the Heat followed!
The Miami team formally announced the acquisition of the Greek superstar and Bobby Portis Jr. from the “Bucks,” in exchange for Tyler Herro, Kel’el War, Jaime Yáquez, and Kasparas Jakutis, along with three first-round draft picks (2026, 2031, and 2033) and one second-round pick (2033).
In fact, the Florida-based organization introduced the “Greek Freak” with an impressive video… in the style of GTA Vice City!
As for the team’s president, Pat Riley, he called it the most significant trade in Heat history!
“Today’s announcement of the trade involving Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis Jr. is one of the greatest trades in Heat history. In my opinion, Giannis is one of the top five players in the league, and Bobby is one of the best power forwards. “I want to welcome Giannis and Bobby to the Miami Heat family.”
