What happened: Jim Haslam, 95½, called his son after the deals, and Jimmy Haslam answered, “Yes, sir, I know that.” The Cleveland Browns sent Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, while the Milwaukee Bucks moved Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat.

Why it matters: Garrett left Cleveland with two Defensive Player of the Year awards, while Antetokounmpo led Milwaukee to the 2021 NBA title. Haslam has called NBA rebuilding more difficult, putting added weight on Milwaukee's return and draft decisions.

By the numbers: Milwaukee received Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr. Garrett earned five first-team All-Pro selections during his Cleveland tenure.

What to watch: The 2026-27 season will provide the first measure of Milwaukee's younger core. Cleveland's use of its Garrett return will face similar scrutiny.
