NBA Rumors: Giannis Antetokounmpo Could End Up with a Direct Rival with a Stratospheric Proposal
The Milwaukee Bucks have been eliminated from the Playoffs in the first round for the third consecutive season and are at risk of losing the Greek superstar.
The Milwaukee Bucks do not want to trade away the two-time MVP and Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. But if he ultimately decides it's time to leave, they will have to start considering offers. Any trade involving the Greek Freak would be a catastrophic event for Milwaukee, which makes the latest news about a stratospheric offer from a rival of the Bucks make a lot of sense.
According to informant Gery Woelfel, the New York Knicks are preparing to make that groundbreaking offer to the Bucks.
The Knicks will be a very busy team this summer, with or without Giannis, as they are also currently looking for a new head coach. Recent reports suggest they are interested in the current head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, Jason Kidd. By the way, Kidd was Giannis' assistant coach in Milwaukee, and in the three and a half years they spent together, Kidd helped shape the then young Greek prospect into an All-Star on his way to becoming a superstar.
The offer the Knicks would have to make
The Knicks' stratospheric offer would have to include at least two of their star players, likely from the group consisting of Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, and Mikal Bridges. New York doesn't have much draft capital after last year's trades to acquire Towns and Bridges, so they would probably need to involve a third team in the deal, one with some first-round assets to contribute.
We recently informed you about another potential aggressive suitor for Giannis, a team that has significantly risen in the odds to sign the Greek Freak.
