Bucks' offseason recap: Giannis trade to Miami headlines busy summer

Milwaukee's offseason is recapped in full, topped by the blockbuster sending Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to Miami for Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, Nate Ament's draft rights and multiple future picks.

The Bucks also re-signed Gary Trent Jr. to a four-year, $64 million deal and brought back Ousmane Dieng on a three-year contract.

A separate six-team deal brought in Caris LeVert from Detroit, while draft picks Brayden Burries and Nate Ament signed rookie-scale contracts. Milwaukee sits below the luxury tax with a full mid-level exception still available.
