There was a blockbuster trade. Giannis is headed to the Miami Heat. The Milwaukee Bucks will get Tyler Herro, Kasparas Jakucionis, Jamie Jaquez Jr. and one other player. Finally the Bucks will be fun to watch. Great trade for both teams in my opinion.
 
The Heat are down to Nikola Jovic and Pelle Larsson off the bench after trading three white players. They're no longer white-friendly.

The Bucks will give Jaquez and Jakucionis minutes. Herro could be their best player, or he could be traded for more picks. Either way, Milwaukee is projected to be one of the worst teams in the conference. I see this Giannis trade as cutting up one of the whitest teams in the league and spreading its players out to make things less interesting overall.

The Heat also have shooter Simone Fontecchio and developing 7’ center Vlad Golden but your point stands. Miami moving in the wrong direction, but perhaps will draft a WT or bring a few in as UDFAs if they need to fill departed roster spots. Guess we’ll see.
 
Great trade for Milwaukee! Finally some exciting Whites for MKE!
 
Tyler Kolek, 2nd year guard out of Marquette, only played sparsely in blowouts throughout the Knicks postseason championship run. The former Big East Player of the Year is the only white player on the "America's Team" roster.

The Knicks just committed to backup PG Jose Alvarado with a new 3-yr contract. Kolek is under team control for the next two years on a near-minimum salary. The current projection is that he will be stuck on the end of the bench until the 2028 offseason, when he can explore free agency without much of a resume.

Collin Gillespie's new contract with Phoenix proves the investment in a white American point guard can pay dividends, but it's still the toughest role to punch above your "caste."

For those that haven't heard. Some good news out of L.A. Lebron James will leave the Lakers and play somewhere else this fall. This
is great as it's now Luka Doncic's Legacy that we will be witnessing. Hopefully Doncic, Reaves and Company will get to the NBA Finals
in the next couple of years and win some championships. That is the main knock on Doncic. Let's Go Lakers!
