Giannis Antetokounmpo has admitted he does not feel comfortable with his new team, the Miami Heat, weeks after forcing a trade from the Milwaukee Bucks. Speaking on AnesTea The Podcast, the two-time MVP said he wanted a new challenge after feeling too settled in Milwaukee. He clarified the discomfort is not regret and left open the possibility of returning to the Bucks someday. The Times of India reports that the Bucks traded Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to Miami for Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, and multiple draft picks. Milwaukee reportedly favoured Miami's offer over Boston's bid centred on Jaylen Brown. The deal is set to become official on July 6.
