The Heat want to trade Antetokounmpo, but he doesn t want to play for Riley

05-17 News Recently, according to the latest news revealed by the US Record Brandon Robinson, the Miami Heat showed a strong desire to attract the Bucks' superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo through a trade. However, things are not so simple.

You should know that in today's highly competitive NBA league, player trading operations between teams have always attracted much attention. As a team with deep foundation and strong desire to win, the Heat are naturally full of expectations for a dominant star like Antetokounmpo. But the key to the problem is that Antetokounmpo himself does not seem to have the idea of ​​playing for Heat president Pat Riley.

"The Heat are indeed paying close attention to Giannis. This is undoubtedly the fact. A reliable source from the league revealed to me that Riley and the Heat management have discussed in-depth in private many times the possibility of taking the superstar away from Milwaukee." Just like in a fierce chess game, the Heat seemed to have begun to plan the layout, but there was an unexpected twist here: "I heard that Giannis doesn't like Riley." This situation may be the biggest obstacle that Miami had never expected.

In the history of the Heat, James, Wade and Butler have had a feud with Riley before. After time precipitation and communication in 2018, Wade and Riley finally rehabilitated the old and resolved the conflicts. However, James and Butler are still tense with Riley. James once helped the Heat win the championship with his extraordinary strength in 2012 and 2013, and it was an unforgettable glory period. But behind that, he was upset with Riley's tough control over the management of the team. This dissatisfaction was partly one of the reasons why he decided to return to the Knights in the summer of 2014. From the perspective of team culture and management style, Riley's tough style may at some point bring discipline and order to the team, but at the same time it may also trigger resistance from players. This series of events also reflects the complex and subtle relationship between players and management in the world of professional sports.
