Along with Nikola Jovic and Pelle Larsson, Jakucionis finds himself being thrown to several potential trade frameworks and ideas by the Miami Heat in their ongoing aggressive push for the Greek superstar.
“The Miami Heat has had the most consistent interest in trading for Antetokounmpo, including a package widely believed to be centered around 2025 All-Star Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Sixth Man of the Year runner-up Jaime Jaquez Jr., and first-round draft pick compensation. It’s worth noting that Nikola Jovic, Kasparas Jakucionis, and Pelle Larsson have each come up in different iterations of the Antetokounmpo trade talks,” league sources told HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto.
Kasparas Jakucionis, others might be traded out of Heat’s pursuit to satisfy Bucks in Giannis trade
As the 2026 NBA Draft is slowly approaching already, the entire basketball world has the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade sweepstakes on its radar. The trade around the two-time MVP will officially signal that this year’s NBA offseason, filled with massive transactions and deals, has officially kicked off.
The 20th pick of last year’s NBA Draft, Kasparas Jakucionis showed off in his first season for the Miami Heat. He appeared in 53 games and started in 12, averaging 6.2 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 17.8 minutes.
The 20-year-old Lithuanian sensation shot a consistent 42.3 percent from the three-point line out of nearly three attempts per game.
Pelle Larsson took a massive leap in his sophomore season this past 2025-26. From averaging 4.6 points in his rookie year, he elevated his scoring numbers to 11.4 points with 3.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 70 games played.
After signing a four-year, $62.4 million rookie contract extension last offseason, Nikola Jovic disappointingly struggled on the other hand. He just dropped 7.3 points in 36.6 percent shooting across 47 games played.
As the Heat intensifies their pursuit of Giannis, Jakucionis and several other talents involved in this latest report should be attractive enough for the Bucks to seriously consider a deal.
