Knicks unlikely to be in the mix for potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trade

by

The insurmountable obstacle now for the Knicks is they already unloaded the most valuable assets, minus Jalen Brunson, to acquire Towns, OG Anunoby and especially Mikal Bridges. As a result, a source declared the Knicks’ chances of dealing for Antetokounmpo as “very unlikely.” Their offer would get blown away by the competition.

He’s nowhere near prime LeBron….LeBron is the best basketball player who has ever lived and if you disagree with that, he’s the second best basketball player who has ever lived. Giannis isn’t LeBron, not in playing style, or impact x.com/securitron_eth… – 2:46 AM

More on this storyline

Eric Nehm: FINAL: Bucks 123, Jazz 100 – Lillard 34pts/4reb/7ast – Antetokounmpo 31pts/16reb/2ast – Portis 19pts/6reb – Green 12pts/2ast The Bucks have snapped their six-game losing streak. They are now 2-6 and play the Knicks in New York tomorrow night. -via x.com / November 7, 2024
Bobby Marks: Anytime a team like that is struggling, there’s certainly going to be questions about the future of Giannis. He is not looking to be moved. Milwaukee is not looking to move him. They’re looking to try to figure out kind of what went wrong with this roster to start the season here. So, I think we can put away the fictional Giannis trade proposals for right now. There’s no concern from that front.” -via YouTube / November 6, 2024
Eric Nehm: Bucks coach Doc Rivers: “We didn’t really practice, we skeleton’d a lot stuff. We didn’t do anything live today.” Rivers told reporters that Giannis Antetokounmpo (right adductor strain), Pat Connaughton (left adductor strain) and MarJon Beauchamp (flu) all participated. -via Twitter @eric_nehm / November 6, 2024
