The Emirates Cup is cool and all, but nothing gets the NBA buzzing more than transaction talk. And you seemingly can’t go anywhere without seeing something about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Should he request a trade — he hasn’t officially, yet, even though it’s a ticking time bomb — one team that many speculate could be in the chase is the Miami Heat, who are currently 14-11 through 25 games. As the widespread speculation continues to flow through the interwebs, how are you — yes, YOU, the impassioned fan — processing this?! Vote below!

*****************************
Hanifan’s take:
Here are my answers to each question:
- Yes.
- Yes, duh!
- No.
- Antetokounmpo’s agency will dictate a lot of it, so it’s very possible. But I believe the Heat have little-to-no chance if this is a bidding war.
- San Antonio Spurs (where I think he goes).
- Kel’el Ware, who I think is a better asset than Herro.
- A lot, unfortunately. Read why here!
- No.
