A package centered around Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Terry Rozier, a combination of Jaime Jaquez Jr., Nikola Jovic, or Kasparas Jakucionis, two first-round picks, and two first-round pick swaps could be what many believe to be the Miami Heat’s final offer to the Milwaukee Bucks for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
According to Heat reporter Barry Jackson, that’s likely close to what Miami's best offer could look like. There’s a chance the Heat could add a first-round pick to beef up their package, but that would require a third and possibly four teams.
That certainly has to be on the table as well. Assuming this is what the Heat can offer, you can't help but wonder one thing: Would that be a package good enough for the Bucks to accept?
Honestly, especially with all the smoke that is swirling, it's difficult to answer that question.
The only bright spot for the Heat is that they're likely going to get their answer fairly quickly, with the NBA Trade Deadline two days away.
It's a Giannis or bust trade deadline for the Heat
As we get closer to the deadline, it does feel like this trade deadline is going to be Giannis or nothing for the Heat. It's certainly a big risk that could end up blowing up in their face, but it's also probably the right one.
Considering that the Heat have been building up to this point, it would only make sense for Giannis to get their full attention.
Does that mean that the Heat aren't working multiple scenarios heading into the deadline? No. However, if Miami does fall short of the Giannis finish line, it's hard to imagine they're going to have enough time to pivot successfully.
In fact, you almost have to assume that the Heat will allow the chips to fall at this year's trade deadline, and then reassess where they may find themselves heading into the offseason.
For now, the Heat have to feel pretty good about their chances of landing Giannis ahead of the trade deadline. If Giannis is going to get moved, the Heat are probably near the top of the list of places he could land.
Two days until the trade deadline, the Heat are at a point where they just have to close the deal. But, especially as the Heat have learned of late, that's a lot easier said than done.
But if there's anyone that can do it, it's Pat Riley and the Heat's front office.
