The Miami Heat are coming fresh off making their second NBA Finals appearance in the last four seasons.

But the organization has failed to win it all both times, and many believe they need another superstar to finally hang another banner at the Kaseya Center.

The Heat have been in constant rumors surrounding potential trades for Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Pairing a superstar of Antetokounmpo’s caliber, who’s already an established winner, would pay dividends for the Heat.

However, the Heat could face one huge obstacle in landing Giannis, according to NBA insider Zach Lowe via Dru on Twitter.

“Miami I’ve got [as a team I’m watching for Giannis Antetokounmpo]. It’s just a matter of the same issue they’re facing with Dame right now. Their package is not super-duper enticing,” Lowe believes.

Zach Lowe drew parallels in Heat’s pursuit of Antetokounmpo and Lillard.

He believes that although the organization has had success in recent years, it still lacks an enticing enough package to land a superstar via trade.

The best they can do to get Giannis in a blockbuster package is to figure out a trade around Bam Adebayo.

Sure, Adebayo has been a vital piece in the Heat’s success in recent seasons, but Antetokounmpo is still levels above him.

On top of that, the Heat would still have to sweeten the deal by adding a couple of role players and offering draft compensation.

One would assume that acquiring Giannis would ultimately cost the Heat in the long run.

Keeping that in mind, the Heat may simply try to develop their current players and focus on winning rings with their current roster.

What will the Heat do?

Fans will find out in the coming months.
