Giannis Antetokounmpo is heading to the Miami Heat in a blockbuster trade. The deal sends the two-time MVP and Bobby Portis to South Beach.
In exchange, the Milwaukee Bucks receive Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Kasparas Jakucionis, draft picks, and Jaime Jaquez Jr.
Jaquez found out about the trade just like everyone else. He was working out at the gym when a bystander showed him the news on a phone.
Video captured his raw reaction. The caption read, “Damn, bro.
S***.” He appeared to be in shock.
The trade gives Antetokounmpo a new home for the first time in his NBA career.
The 31-year-old was the 15th overall pick in 2013 and has spent his entire career with the Bucks.
He is a two-time MVP, an NBA champion, Finals MVP, 10-time All-Star, and Defensive Player of the Year.
Jaquez likely did not expect to be part of the deal. However, the Heat made a move to acquire a superstar.
