Herro, Ware, Jaquez Jr. key season backgrounds amid Giannis trade rumors
Tyler Herro stands as the rumored and well-known main piece the Heat have to offer for the Giannis trade. The star guard saw an injury-riddled campaign this 2025-26 that limited him to just 33 appearances, averaging 20.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists.
A Milwaukee native, Herro recently made cryptic social media moves in the wake of being tagged to Giannis trade rumors.
Meanwhile, Kel'El Ware is also one of the key pieces that is being linked to the Heat-Bucks trade connection around Antetokounmpo. In his second season, the 22-year-old big man improved with the averages of 11.1 points, 9.0 rebounds and 1.1 blocks while shooting 53 percent from the field (39.5 percent from three) per 22.1 minutes across 77 games.
And lastly, the Mexican-American in Jaime Jaquez Jr. enjoyed the best season of his career this 2025-26, being named a finalist for the Sixth Man of the Year award. Playing 75 games, he averaged a career-best 15.4 points in 50.7 percent shooting with 5.0 rebounds and 4.7 assists.
It remains to be seen if there will be additional players that might soon be added, but the Bucks would certainly ask for the most from the Heat before giving the green light on a potential Giannis blockbuster deal.
