The NBA trade deadline is Thursday, so if Giannis Antetokounmpo is going to be dealt from the Milwaukee Bucks this season, it has to happen soon.
The Miami Heat have long been viewed as a possible suitor, if they can put together a good enough offer.
On Monday, the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson revealed that the Heat might just offer an absolute doozy.
"The Heat’s offer, according to a source, is widely expected to include (Kel'el) Ware, Tyler Herro, Terry Rozier’s expiring contract, and another young player or more, as well as first-round picks in 2030 and 2032 and possibly first-round pick swaps in 2026, 2029 and 2031," Jackson writes.

From an on-court perspective, Herro and Ware are the stars of this offer. Herro is a high-scoring guard who can be one of a contending team's best players.
Ware has fallen out of favor just a tad in his second season in Miami, but he's a lanky frontcourt player with lots of upside.
Another young player? Maybe it'd be 2025 first-round pick Kasparas Jakucionis out of Illinois. The Heat don't have a ton of youth in their rotation.

And then those picks suggested to be in the offer by Jackson would be about the maximum draft pick dealing Miami could do in such a trade.
Will it be enough for Giannis? That would mostly depend on the Bucks' feelings on Herro and Ware.
It would leave the Heat with a starting five of Davion Mitchell, Norman Powell, Andrew Wiggins, Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo. That certainly sounds pretty formidable.
The Heat often go star chasing, and Giannis would be quite the superstar to land.
