Heat push for Giannis as NBA deadline nears with big-pick package

The Miami Heat are pressing to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo ahead of Thursday’s deadline, reportedly offering a package that could include Kel’el Ware, Tyler Herro, Rozier’s expiring contract, another young player, and first-round picks (2030, 2032) plus pick swaps. The Bucks are weighing whether to move him at the deadline or wait for the offseason, with the Knicks, Timberwolves and Warriors among the suitors. The Knicks aren’t going all-in yet, and the price could rise in the spring; Giannis is returning from a calf injury and is expected to play this season.
