Who won the Giannis trade?
At long last, Giannis Antetokounmpo has finally been traded. The Greek Freak got what he wanted when he was traded to the Miami Heat on Monday night. The Bucks squeezed the Heat for everything they had in the deal. Here's the full package:
Heat get: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bobby Portis
Bucks get: Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, and the No. 13 overall pick in the 2026 draft, unprotected first-rounders in 2031 and 2033, a first-round pick swap in 2030, and a 2033 second-rounder
I already gave out my full trade grades. Now I want to know who you think got the better end of the deal?
The Bucks did really well in my opinion given that Giannis only has one year left on his contract. I'm sure Giannis will sign an extension with the Heat, but it's going to be incredibly pricey as he enters his mid-30s. Miami doesn't have much left on the roster outside of Bam and Giannis, but that's an awesome pairing, and it's worth noting that the Heat are the best team in the league at developing diamonds in the rough.
When we look back at this trade five or 10 years from now, who will have gotten the better end of the deal?
