Miami Heat: 3 reasons why Tyler Herro is wearing a Milwaukee Bucks jersey
It’s no secret that the Miami Heat are going after Giannis Antetokounmpo come 2021. Is Tyler Herro starting their recruitment campaign early?
Another easy connection to make from Herro’s Instagram story is to Giannis Antetokounmpo, top target for Pat Riley and the Miami Heat’s 2021 free agency ploy.

No one’s dismissing the fact that Miami and Milwaukee will share a hotel for however long their stay persists in Orlando. The Heat have been preparing for their pursuit of Antetokounmpo since Jimmy Butler agreed to the sign-and-trade that brought him to South Beach.
