How Heat can get Giannis Antetokounmpo's brothers, Thanasis and Alex, onto roster to join new Miami superstar

1 day ago 6

The Miami Heat traded for Giannis Antetokounmpo, which will go down as one of the biggest moves of this entire offseason.

Can they get the Antetokounmpo brothers together now? It's a question of whether they want Thanasis or Alex at all.

Because the reality is, it wouldn't be hard to do.

Can the Heat get Thanasis and Alex Antetokounmpo to join brother Giannis?

The path would be as simple as can be here: Yes, if the Heat want Giannis' brothers, they can get them.

Thanasis Antetokounmpo is a free agent.

Alex Antetokounmpo is a free agent, too.

Both spent this past season with the Bucks -- Thanasis on a standard contract, Alex on a two-way deal. Both were one-year pacts, meaning both get to free agency this offseason.

Neither would be expensive, so that's not the issue.

The question is whether the Heat actually want them.

Thanasis has always been a bench warmer in the NBA, while Alex had some promise as an amateur but doesn't seem cut out for a key NBA role.

Signing the Antetokounmpo brothers -- "Antetokounmbros" -- would be about keeping Giannis happy. That's worth considering, but it wouldn't be for any real basketball reason.
