The Heat made a splash over the offseason by bringing in Giannis Antetokounmpo for a slew of young players and draft capital. A massive haul to finally pry Milwaukee’s longtime superstar away from the Bucks.
Heat president Pat Riley got his guy, but it took Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakučionis, the No, 13 pick in the 2026 draft (Nate Ament), two future first-round picks, a pick swap and a future second-rounder to get it done. Bobby Portis came to Miami with Antetokounmpo, but the trade and the offseason departure of Norman Powell left the roster with a major concern. There’s Giannis and Bam Adebayo, but is the lack of depth enough to compete in an improving Eastern Conference?
