Kendrick Perkins says the Heat NEED to go get Kawhi Leonard to pair with Giannis and Bam: “They need to go get Kawhi Leonard! What is Kawhi doing right now with the Clippers? Absolutely nothing. They’re probably about to lose Norman Powell. We can’t ask him to turn down money. You need a closer!”
BLOCKBUSTER: The Milwaukee Bucks are trading franchise icon Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat for Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, 3 first-round picks (including No. 13), 1 pick swap and 1 second-rounder, sources tell ESPN.
Just in: Minnesota is sending Julius Randle and the No. 28 pick in the NBA Draft to the Brooklyn Nets in a three-team trade that sends Nic Claxton to the Chicago Bulls, sources tell ESPN. The Timberwolves will acquire Brooklyn’s No. 33 pick for Randle and No. 28.
The Miami Heat were not Giannis top choice to play for and is worried the Heat would have to gut their roster to trade for him, per @ChrisBHaynes "I don't think it was his top destination. If it was, there are things Giannis can do behind the scenes to make it happen.... Also, the package the Heat offered, you we're likely going to gut your team to get Giannis. I don't know if Giannis wants to go to a team where it's potentially MIL. Giannis wants to contend for Championships"
BREAKING: The Bostin Celtics are the favorites to land Giannis, per @ChrisBHaynes "The Boston Celtics are the front runners to land Giannis Antetokounmpo.... I can expect something to be done by end of the day but if not, most definitely by the draft. Right now I'm hearing the Boston Celtics, not the Miami Heat are the favorites to land him in a trade."
