Heat's Erik Spoelstra speaks on the team's outlook after what was a silent trade deadline and failed pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The value of the potential trade assets rests not with the perception of the Miami Heat front office, but rather what the Milwaukee Bucks believe commensurate for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Heat remained fully engaged in Giannis Antetokounmpo trade talks until the final hours, but Milwaukee chose to wait until the offseason.

Reportedly, Miami had not recently checked in on Ja Morant as their focus shifted toward pursuing Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Now, however, the Lakers are included in this bunch. After the Giannis negotiations were pushed to the upcoming offseason, it has given the Lakers a more realistic path to acquiring the 2x MVP, and it has not gone unnoticed.
