Miami Heat rookie Kel'el Ware has responded to speculation that he could be traded as part of a potential deal for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. Ware told HoopsHype on Friday, "I kind of figured it was going to happen," indicating he was aware of the trade rumors surrounding his name.
The 2024 first-round draft pick out of Indiana has seen his name surface in hypothetical trade packages for the two-time MVP Antetokounmpo, though no official trade discussions have been confirmed by either franchise. Ware's comments suggest he understands the business nature of the NBA and the possibility of being moved in a blockbuster deal.
Neither the Heat nor the Bucks have publicly commented on any trade negotiations involving Antetokounmpo, who remains under contract with Milwaukee through the 2027-28 season.
