Insider Marc Stein reported Sunday that the Knicks are among four teams most likely to credibly push for Giannis Antetokounmpo, joining three more well-known contenders — the Nets, Heat and Warriors. Of course, the Knicks just unloaded the vast majority of their assets to acquire Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, making it difficult to match offers the Bucks would field. As a result, a source deemed it “very unlikely” the Knicks can find a way to land Antetokounmpo.

Hope Giannis & Milwaukee stay patient, but it’s looking pretty bleak right now. They don’t have many outs. The coaching staff & front office still have to get creative and do whatever it takes to make this work. With a healthy Khris/Giannis, you should be in the mix. – 9:19 AM

Milwaukee got 75 points from Dame and Giannis and hit 46% of their 3s. They don’t lose games when those happen.
Except they did last night thanks to Donovan Mitchell’s buzzer-beater.

Rocky Kreuser at @SportalgrG on what stood out to him about Alex Antetokounmpo. “His energy. He’s a great guy. He brings a tone of energy on and off the court. He’s getting used to our plays. He’s a really good guy, and I love to have him on the team.” #paok #Antetokounmpo pic.x.com/yncwf61mAb – 6:12 AM

I’ve heard more than one rival team since the trade, mind you, wonder aloud about whether having a player of Karl-Anthony Towns’ caliber on the roster for a potential future Giannis Antetokounmpo offer was among the Knicks’ motivations for giving in on their long-held reluctance to include Donte DiVincenzo in trade talks with the Timberwolves and push for that deal’s completion when they did on top of New York’s obvious need for a frontline center. -via marcstein.substack.com / November 3, 2024
A few months removed from Giannis Antetokounmpo being the first Black flagbearer for Greece in the Olympic Games – and therefore the first Black person to lead the opening of the Games – Donald Trump seemingly questioned Antetokounmpo’s Greek heritage at his Friday rally at Fiserv Forum. “And tell me who has more Greek in him? The Greek or me?” Trump asked the crowd. “I think we have about the same, right? He is some.” -via Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel / November 3, 2024
