\u201cThe Miami Heat win the Giannis Antetokounmpo sweepstakes!\u201d Or … \u201cthe Heat fail again to land Giannis.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of those statements will be true, and soon, maybe by next week. So which will it be?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m still optimistic (see column link below) that Miami will successfully trade for the Milwaukee Bucks superstar, with third-team involvement a strong possibility. Others see the Boston Celtics as a big threat to get him instead, and many other teams are still lurking in the hunt.<\/p>\n

A deal seems close, in that the Bucks have stated they want to either trade Giannis or decide to keep him by the June 23-24 NBA Draft. He is under contract for the 2026-27 season, after which he could become a free agent … and reignite all the present drama over his future.<\/p>\n

The latest next-team betting odds per DraftKings have the Heat a narrow favorite over the Celtics, with his staying in Milwaukee third.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t a one-man poll on my opinion or somebody else\u2019s., though This is your poll.<\/p>\n

Vote what you hope will happen or vote what you believe will happen — your call. As always you may vote as many times as you like or until your fingers ache. Ready?Go!<\/p>\n
