The Miami Heat are on the clock with the 13th pick in the 2026 Grind City Media NBA Mock Draft. Michael Wallace is joined by Ethan Skolnick, who drops one of the biggest curveballs of the entire mock draft. Instead of projecting a player to Miami, Ethan explains why this pick may actually be headed to the Milwaukee Bucks as part of a blockbuster pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Michael and Ethan break down the Heat’s franchise crossroads, Pat Riley’s final‑chapter ambitions, the future of Bam Adebayo, and the tough decisions surrounding Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and the rest of Miami’s core. They also explore the three major paths the Heat could take this offseason, including a full‑scale superstar swing, a roster reshuffle, or a long‑term cap‑space play.
Ethan reveals why he believes the Heat are finally positioned to land Giannis, what Milwaukee would want in return, and why the No. 13 pick could be part of a multi‑pick package that reshapes both franchises. The mock draft selection still gets made, but not for Miami.
