Heat awaits Bucks’ Antetokounmpo decision as draft nears

Key Points:

• The Milwaukee Bucks plan to resolve Giannis Antetokounmpo's future by the NBA Draft on June 23, with co-owner Jimmy Haslam stating they will trade him if he doesn't commit to a contract extension.
• The Miami Heat remain the frontrunner in acquiring Antetokounmpo, having proposed a package including Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, multiple first-round picks, and pick swaps; the Heat are willing to negotiate and offer an extension.
• Other potential suitors include the Orlando Magic, Portland Trail Blazers, and possibly the Knicks, Celtics, and Boston, though interest varies and some teams like Houston and Cleveland have shown limited pursuit.
• The Bucks are waiting until after the playoffs to gauge interest from NBA finalists and other teams before making a trade, with the Heat not concerned about potential fit issues between Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo.
• If the Heat acquire Antetokounmpo, they must clear at least $46.5 million in salary and could re-sign key players like Norman Powell and Andrew Wiggins while managing salary cap constraints to build a competitive roster.
