Though the New York Liberty beat the Aces, 87-76, Antetokounmpo and Adebayo linked up at the game to watch the latter's significant other, star A'ja Wilson, play. The two were seen walking out of the tunnel together on Tuesday night, which will be a common sight for Miami fans once the season rolls around.
The Heat finally landed its "whale" of a star in Giannis Antetokounmpo
There's no denying that the Heat still have work to do in building the rest of the team, but starting with a dynamic duo of Antetokounmpo and Adebayo is a great start. In exchange for Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis , Miami would give up Tyler Herro , Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr. , Kasparas Jakucionis , and significant draft capital , as laid out by ESPN's Shams Charania.

"BLOCKBUSTER: The Milwaukee Bucks are trading franchise icon Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat for Tyler Herro , Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, 3 first-round picks (including No. 13), 1 pick swap and 1 second-rounder, sources tell ESPN," Charania wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
"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," Charania continued.
Pat Riley and the Heat have finally landed their "whale" of a superstar in the form of Antetokounmpo to link up with Adebayo, as the two have known respect each other. Now that they're on the same team, Miami looks to contend once again after missing the playoffs last season.
