The Greek Freak era has arrived in Miami.
Late on Monday night, the Heat traded three first-round picks, Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kasparas Jakučionis to the Bucks for two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and stretch big Bobby Portis. It’s the culmination of years of preparation by team president Pat Riley to ensure Miami was ready to pounce if a superstar talent of this caliber ever hit the trade market. Reports in the days leading up to the blockbuster suggested it was no sure thing Antetokounmpo would end up in South Beach, but Riley got the job done and beat out the rival Celtics in the process.
