Giannis Antetokounmpo wants nothing more this offseason than for another superstar to join him in South Beach with the Miami Heat.
NBA insider Chris Haynes recently shared a story about a frustrated Antetokounmpo calling him back, wanting to know if there’s some breaking news about the Heat acquiring a superstar to play alongside him.
Haynes said that he tried to reach out to Antetokounmpo to ask if the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player would show up at the NBA Summer League. What Haynes got in return was a call from a seemingly frustrated Antetokounmpo, who initially thought “somebody was coming to Miami or there was a big trade.”

As it stands, the Heat already look formidable with the combo of Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo. Miami lost some key players in the trade for Antetokounmpo, but they would gladly do it all over again if it meant getting the services of the 10-time NBA All-Star, who remains at the peak of his powers.
Miami did make a notable acquisition recently, signing veteran shooter Tim Hardaway Jr. to provide the Heat with a much-needed floor spacer, but that barely moves the needle for the team.
What would truly give Giannis Antetokounmpo a huge jolt would be if LeBron James took his talents to South Beach for a second time.
The Heat, along with the Cleveland Cavaliers, are widely considered as the top teams on the NBA free agency list of James, who won two NBA titles with Miami.
