Yet sources have insisted this week that the Blazers are as interested in actually trying to land Antetokounmpo for themselves as other frequently mentioned suitors such as Miami, Minnesota, Golden State and New York. I'm also that Portland engaged in trade talks with Milwaukee as recently as the Tuesday before the league's annual in-season trade deadline (which always falls on a Thursday) before various interested teams finally conceded that the Bucks were not truly willing to part with Antetokounmpo even as they were already spiraling to a 32-50 finish.
Tim Reynolds: Only teams in play-by-play era (since 1996) to trail by 17 or more at the half, then win by 20 or more: -- Miami, over Houston, 11/1/15 (down 19 at half, won by 20). -- San Antonio, over Portland, today (down 17 at half, won by 21).

Giannis says the Bucks don’t allow them to eat Candy or drink Sodas on the team plane anymore after they lost to the Miami Heat in 2023 playoffs 💀 “When we lost to Miami as the 1st seed and lost to Miami, they said no candy and no soda. They said none of that sh*t no more”
Goran Dragic: “Yeah. Can I say something? You’re 31 years old, so you need to think about your knees, you know, keep them loose. So you need a warm climate, man.” Giannis Antetokounmpo: “Hey, Miami is not a bad place, man. Beautiful, beautiful city.” Host: “Beautiful city. We’ll leave it at that. We’ll leave it at that.
Fontecchio said he would prefer not to relocate again and is happy with both his personal and professional situation in Miami. “I’d love to stay here,” Fontecchio told Italy’s Sky Sports. “I wouldn’t want to move my family again because we’re great in Miami. “Just as importantly, I feel really comfortable with everyone here, from the owners to the coaching staff, and especially in this locker room, which is special because of the group it’s created.”

NBA veteran Jeff Green has scored an off-court win, selling his custom-built Miami estate for $15.5 million. While not a record-breaker, the deal still ranks among the priciest residential sales in Pinecrest, where a $19.5 million mansion sale last year set the current high-water mark.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Fontecchio praised the culture around Miami and talked about his season: "I'm overall satisfied, even though it's been a season with a few ups and downs on a personal level," he started. "I started off really well, and that raised everyone's expectations a bit. Then, in December, I didn't perform well. I'll be the first to admit it. And with the return of some key teammates, especially Tyler Herro, I lost a few minutes. But overall, I'm happy." Italian forward confirmed his intent to re-sign with the Heat if the team is interested to do so: "I'd love to, but we all know how the business works here, and nothing is really a given. For the first time, however, I'll be an unrestricted free agent, so I too can choose my own future. I'd love to stay here." "I wouldn't want to move my family again because we're great in Miami, and just as importantly, I feel really comfortable with everyone here, from the owners to the coaching staff, and especially in this locker room, which is special because of the group it's created. I'll talk to the club at the end of the season, but my hope is to stay here," he concluded.
Ira Winderman: Nice choice ESPN: For their nationally televised game against the Magic on Sunday, the Celtics, locked into No. 2 in East, announced they are sitting Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Derrick White, with three other rotation pieces (Sam Hauser, Payton Pritchard and Nikola Vucevic) doubtful.
Josh Lewenberg: After combining for 30 pts on 12-30 FG/1-5 3P vs Boston, Brandon Ingram/Scottie Barnes go for 48 pts on 19-32 FG/5-7 3P in a 121-95 win vs Miami tonight. Raptors’ best players coming up big in a huge W. Now they need to do it again Thurs. With 3 games left, they control their own playoff destiny
Josh Robbins: The playing statuses of Alex Sarr and Tristan Vukčević have been downgraded to OUT for this afternoon's game in Miami. But Justin Champagnie, Bilal Coulibaly and Tre Johnson have been upgraded to AVAILABLE. Today's game is the first game of a back-to-back for the Wizards.
