Is a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade from Bucks to Heat nearly done?

[ASFN Admin]

Let's be clear from the outset here: There is NO OFFICIAL Giannis Antetokounmpo trade news to post. There's A LOT of chatter with some reports that maybe a deal is coming soon enough.

Here's what we've got via social media: An unconfirmed report that a deal involving the Bucks and Heat that would send the superstar forward to Miami, as has been rumored for a while. Other teams could be involved to facilitate it. And while you and I and everyone in between has seen tweets about a giant trade involving the forward that includes the Lakers and Pistons, there's nothing legit about this yet.

What there is at the moment is ESPN's Ramona Shelburne saying the three teams you are hearing the most about is: The Celtics, the Timberwolves and Heat.
