The Miami Heat continue to pursue Giannis Antetokounmpo, but a deal for the Milwaukee Bucks superstar appears far from guaranteed.

As trade speculation intensifies ahead of the NBA Draft, the Heat have reportedly emerged as one of the most aggressive teams in the race for Antetokounmpo.

However, Milwaukee remains unconvinced by the offers currently on the table and could hold onto its franchise player if the right package does not materialize.

According to ESPN insider Brian Windhorst, the Bucks are still waiting for a proposal they believe matches Antetokounmpo’s value.

Bucks not satisfied with current Giannis offers

Milwaukee reportedly hopes to gain clarity on Antetokounmpo’s future before the draft, but Windhorst suggested there is no certainty that a trade will happen.

“Yeah, so far, from what I am told, the Bucks have yet to receive an offer that they’re willing to accept for Giannis Antetokounmpo, which is somewhat nearing what happened at the trade deadline last February,” he said during ESPN’s Get Up. “And while there is this deadline of the draft, and I am told that they intend to try to trade him by the draft, I think it’s possible, there’s some percentage chance, that they don’t find the deal that they like.”

“Miami has been the team that’s been most aggressive, I think, in trying to get him, but they’ve got seven or eight different pieces they could trade, none of them what I consider super premium, and I think the Bucks probably want all of them.”

What the Bucks reportedly want from Miami

Earlier, NBA reporter Evan Sidery reported that Milwaukee is seeking a package centered around multiple players and draft capital.

According to the report, the Bucks could be looking for:

Kel’el Ware Jaime Jaquez Jr. Kasparas Jakucionis No. 13 overall pick A future first-round pick

Such a package would allow Milwaukee to add young talent while replenishing its draft assets for the future.

The report also stated that the Bucks would prefer to reroute Tyler Herro and/or Nikola Jovic in separate transactions to acquire additional draft compensation.

Milwaukee is reportedly not interested in taking on Jovic’s recently signed four-year, $62.4 million extension, which pays $15.6 million annually through 2030.

Herro, meanwhile, is entering the final season of his current contract and is set to earn approximately $33 million on an expiring deal.
