The Miami Heat were not Giannis top choice to play for and is worried the Heat would have to gut their roster to trade for him, per @ChrisBHaynes "I don't think it was his top destination. If it was, there are things Giannis can do behind the scenes to make it happen.... Also, the package the Heat offered, you we're likely going to gut your team to get Giannis. I don't know if Giannis wants to go to a team where it's potentially MIL. Giannis wants to contend for Championships"
