With Giannis Antetokounmpo officially off the block (for now), the Miami Heat has now failed on another superstar pursuit. The NBA Trade Deadline is still a few hours away, and there's reason to believe that the Heat could still make a move or two, but it won't be for a superstar player.
The Heat had been built up as a potential Giannis suitor for weeks, but ultimately, it does seem as if the Milwaukee Bucks were never seriously considering trading their superstar forward.
Officially, the Heat will need to pivot and start exploring their plan B, C, and D for the trade deadline.
