The Miami Heat, like other star-gazing teams around the NBA, are surely waiting at the ready for the first sign that Giannis Antetokounmpo is ready to split from the Milwaukee Bucks. While there's no evidence that we're nearing that point, there's also no reason to believe that patience is anything but a virtue for all of these fingers-crossed Giannis dreamers.
The latest trade dispatch from ESPN's Tim Bontemps and Brian Windhorst didn't include direct chatter about Antetokounmpo wanting out, but one Western Conference scout questioned the sustainability of Milwaukee's supporting cast. Windhorst himself, meanwhile, noted that Antetokounmpo was always expected to take at least 20 to 25 games to fully assess his situation.
