BREAKING: Miami Heat Named Giannis Antetokounmpo's Preferred Trade Destination..

The Miami Heat have been named Giannis Antetokounmpo’s preferred trade destination alongside an East rival.

The Milwaukee Bucks have made a horrible start to the season. After winning their season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers, they have lost four straight to go 1-4 and serious questions are being raised about their future. Could it work out in favor of the Miami Heat?

Before the start of the season, Giannis Antetokounmpo had joked about how he could end up getting traded if things did not work out for the Bucks. But if things continue like this, he could be the one looking for an exit.

Teams around the league are already believed to be keeping an eye on Giannis, in case a trade opportunity crops up.

According to Bill Reiter in CBS Sports, an Eastern Conference NBA executive has already heard of places believed to be Giannis’ would-be preferred destinations, as he said: “The teams I’ve heard are Miami and New York — the Nets, not the Knicks.”

A top executive of a team that could be in the mix said: “I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened by the trade deadline.”

The Heat showed a lot of trust in their roster this summer, not making too many changes and no notable ones. But their start to the season has been shaky at best as they sit 2-2.

They have lost both times they have faced contenders though, the New York Knicks and the Orlando Magic.

Tyler Herro is the only one who has been a bright spark for the Heat this season. Both Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo have disappointed. And if things don’t improve quickly, it would not be a surprise if the organization decide to go in a different direction.

Bringing in Giannis would certainly fit the definition of ‘shaking things up’. Of course, working out a trade package might not be simple but not impossible, considering some of the pieces Miami have right now.

Let’s see how things play out over the coming weeks and months. We are just four games into the season and it would be far too early to come to any conclusions.
