Miami Heat target shooters and roster upgrades after Giannis Antetokounmpo trade

Miami Heat Giannis Antetokounmpo trade 3‑point shooting free‑agent targets NBA roster moves

The Miami Heat completed a blockbuster six‑player trade to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis Jr., while moving on from Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Kasparas Jakucionis. Analysts say the team now faces a pressing need for 3‑point shooting around Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo.

Suggested options range from mid‑level free agents such as Coby White, Quentin Grimes, Gary Trent Jr., Luke Kennard and Gary Harris to higher‑profile targets like Ja Morant or even a veteran like LeBron James. Other potential moves include adding Khris Middleton for shooting depth or re‑signing Norman Powell. The consensus is that bolstering 3‑and‑D talent will be crucial for Miami’s 2026 season ambitions.
