The Giannis Antetokounmpo era is over. Milwaukee traded the superstar and forward Bobby Portis to Miami less than 24 hours before the start of the NBA Draft. According to ESPN, the Bucks are getting Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kasparas Jakucionis in return. They will also get three first-round picks, one pick swap and a second-round pick. The Heat are sending to Milwaukee unprotected first-rounders in 2031 and 2033 along with No. 13, a pick swap in 2030 and a 2033 second-rounder, according to sources.  The trade does not include any additional teams — it is a one-to-one move, sources said — but both the Heat… https://t.co/qsxVhBh9gp — Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) June 23, 2026 Antetokounmpo leaves Milwaukee as the greatest and most accomplished player in team history. After 13 years with the Bucks, he is the franchise’s all-time leader in nearly every major statistical category, including points, rebounds, assists and blocks. His 56 triple doubles is 48 more than any other player and he made roughly 1,600 more free throws than anyone else. A two-time Most Valuable Player, Antetokounmpo was voted into 10 All-Star Games and was an All-NBA pick nine times. He was also named to the NBA’s 75th anniversary team, a collection of the 75 best players in the league’s history. But the greatest achievement of his career was bringing an NBA Championship back to Milwaukee for the first time in 50 years. The NBA Finals MVP in 2021, Antetokounmpo fittingly scored 50 points in Game 6 to close the series, giving the city just its third ever title among the four major American sports. The 15th-pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, Antetokounmpo went from a scrawny, 6-foot-9 18-year-old to one of the most dominant players around the rim that the league has ever seen.

One of the more beloved sports figures in Wisconsin history, Antetokounmpo endeared himself to the state with his constant drive to get better, giving a maximum effort nearly every night and his playful nature off the court. Any list naming the best professional players in the state’s illustrious history must include Antetokounmpo at or near the top. Now, with Antetokounmpo’s future decided, Milwaukee can go to work figuring out what the next era of Bucks basketball will look like. ...read more read less
