Giannis’s discontent is the Miami Heat’s opportunity | Five on the Floor
(Recorded on 1/22 before Heat-Blazers)
With the trade deadline in two weeks, Giannis Antetokounmpo seems more frustrated than ever with the Milwaukee Bucks. Ethan Skolnick and Greg Sylvander discuss how the Miami Heat should handle their affairs in light of the possibility that he truly becomes available by trade.

Giannis is not coming at all smh holding on to players for nothing smh
We have a good chance at Antetokounmpo…but it's Thanasis
People really think we get Giannis and it’s straight to the moon.
Enough of this BS
The Celtics (who I hate), are 3rd and they have been missing an all-nba player all season. My point is as much as I hate to admit it, they are well run..traded a bunch of guys…and are STILL safely out the play-in. The Heat keep yapping about winning and are very low tier mid. Giannis is not coming as they don't have enough picks and seem to refuse to trade to get them. They need to finish the rebuild and it needs to be reflected in who they trade away and who they give mins.
😂
If I’m the Bucks, I don’t care a single bit where Giannis wants to go. They’ve done every single thing he’s asked. Fired winning coaches, traded for stars, everything, and they do it cause this DIVA continuously goes to the media and says cryptic shit to put pressure on them.
I don’t know why he’s known as a high character guy. Cryptic tweets and interviews isn’t how a man handles business. He’s going to do all the same shit wherever he ends up, probably on overdrive because he’s on the wrong side of his prime now.
And putting all that to the side, the Bucks can take a lesser deal to accommodate him one last time to get him where he wants to go, and still not a single player is going to view it as a reason to want to go play for Milwaukee. They are not a destination market because Milwaukee is just about the least sexy place on Earth, so they might as well take the offer that helps them the most, and I have a hard time seeing Miami’s offer being that.
I hope we can make a move on Giannis 🙏🏼
This is really sad. This organization’s plan is a Hail Mary throw for a star. This is a mediocre team and a overrated front office at this point
We’re not getting him lol not with the bums we have to offer
Is the real reason Ware won't play the next 2 games is he must be healthy to maximize his value trading for Giannis??? Might #7 be a bit banged up but could play. The actual reason Kelel's minutes have been drastically cut involves this important question, why would the Heat care about the development of a player who soon become their foe. A healthy Kelel is chomping at the bit to take the floor as a Buck, you can bank on that thinking. Trade Herro, Wiggs, one first round pick and Ware for Giannis. Riles make it happen now, PLEASE GIVE ware away for Giannis and both players will be thrilled. Kelel will flourish as a Buck
Bring up 2010 is stupid becuase we had Wade and it was different league than lmao not same at all we not getting Giannis it’s a pipe dream 😂
Dream casting
Ja is a layup, Giannis is a pipe dream. I feel like we get burned again waiting on Giannis
I hope they prove me wrong but I have 0 faith in this FO getting a deal for Giannis or any Superstar done
Just saw a great trade with GSW. Wiggins for a 1st, Buddy, and Kuminga.
Kuminga, all your picks, Ware, Jovic amd filler for Giannis
Worst case you don't get Giannis, you keep Kuminga and you go young
we're not doing this again bro omg
The FIRST they should roll over is Bam
Giannis injured with calf strain.He said he expects to be out 4-6 weeks.
