NBA Rumors: This past Sunday, Marc Stein has thrown the New York Knicks into the mix to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo, alongside the Brooklyn Nets, Miami Heat, and Golden State Warriors.
However, according to reports from the New York Post, it is very unlikely for the New Yorkers to secure the player, with a source claiming that the move is "highly improbable" to happen:
"The Knicks have just unloaded most of their assets to acquire Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, making it challenging to match any offers that come their way from the Bucks. Consequently, a source deemed it ‘highly unlikely’ for the Knicks to find a way to land Antetokounmpo."
Anteto and His Future
We will see how this unfolds. It wouldn’t be surprising if Anteto tries to force his way out of the Bucks if things continue to go south on the court. Every time he has wanted something, he has said it publicly, and this summer, we’ve seen him jesting about his possible future. In other words, it wouldn’t be a shock if he pushes for a move.
On the other hand, even though it may seem like a pipe dream for him to end up with the Knicks right now, if Leon Rose has proven anything in recent months, it's that he is shooting for the stars, and we are confident that if the player becomes available in the NBA market, he will try to make an offer, although, as mentioned by the Post, it would be tough for them to get the deal done.
