A new three-team trade concept circulating online would send Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat while involving the Golden State Warriors as a third partner, Hoops Wire reported.
The hypothetical framework, created by Bleacher Report writer Zach Buckley, has Miami receiving Antetokounmpo along with guard Buddy Hield and rookie forward Trayce Jackson-Davis.
Milwaukee’s proposed return includes guard Tyler Herro, forward Jonathan Kuminga, center Kelel Ware, the Warriors’ lottery-protected 2026 first-round pick, Miami’s 2030 and 2032 first-round selections, plus pick swaps with the Heat in 2029 and 2031.
The Warriors would add forward Andrew Wiggins and guard Dru Smith, a move characterized as primarily cap-related maneuvering.
Antetokounmpo has not requested a trade, and the Bucks have not indicated a willingness to move the two-time MVP. The scenario, however, aligns with Miami’s history of pursuing high-profile players and pairs Antetokounmpo with center Bam Adebayo, who shares agent Alex Saratsis of Octagon.
For Milwaukee, the imagined package centers on draft capital, young talent and financial flexibility—elements frequently sought when a franchise contemplates a reset. Golden State’s participation would facilitate the exchange of contracts and open a path for the Warriors to join the discussions.
Antetokounmpo, 29, is averaging 28.9 points, 10.1 rebounds and 6.1 assists while shooting better than 63 percent this season, though he is currently sidelined by a calf strain. He is under contract without a no-trade clause, keeping the door open to future proposals should he ever seek a new destination.
