Former NBA leading champion Giannis Antetokounmpo has agreed to be traded to the Miami Heat for Tyler Herro and 3 first round picks. This comes as exciting news for NBA insiders but Miami now finds themselves in a bit of a predicament.
Even though they also acquired Bobby Portis, there have been questions about the NBA shifting landscape, motivation, and timing combined for another championship run by Giannis. Giannis is a hard player to come by.
Many scouts just do not find a player like him and he comes with very high demands and tag prices. Giannis had the possible option to go play for the New York Knicks or Boston Celtics according to league sources but Miami and Pat Riley saw the best of him.
There have been concerns about Pat Riley aging in the midst of still possessing a top head coach in Erik Spoelstra. Spoelstra will most likely be able to handle the duties when he did back with Jimmy Butler.
Butler is a different animal whereas Giannis will fiddle out on his own violin of NBA defined traits.
