With the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder all but removing themselves, according to a recent report from NBA insider Marc Stein, from a potential pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo, it seems as if the Miami Heat's path toward a blockbuster trade just opened up in an unexpected way for the superstar forward.
Per Stein, the Spurs and Thunder are not expected to join the pursuit of Giannis if the Milwaukee Bucks were to shop him at some point over the next few months - whether that be before the NBA Trade Deadline or during the offseason.
