New York Knicks Receive: F/C Giannis Antetokoumnpo
With that said, this may not be as unthinkable as you think it is. We think? This is the player empowerment era. Players move on a more regular basis than ever.
Nobody should assume that Giannis Antetokoumnpo will spend his whole career with the Milwaukee Bucks. He could request a trade at any moment.
If Antetokoumnpo feels that the situation in Milwaukee isn’t improving, he could easily look to play elsewhere. It could even happen this summer. To reiterate: it probably won’t. Still, we’re in the business of entertaining possibilities.
The Bucks are coming off a disappointing outcome losing in the first round of the playoffs despite having the NBA’s best record. While the Miami Heat are certainly not the usual eight seed, it was still a highly disappointing outcome.
NBA NEWS & TRADE RUMORS: Giannis Antetokoumnpo, Milwaukee Bucks & New York Knicks Updates
The Bucks didn’t just lose the series, they had fourth-quarter collapses in their two final losses. With a very limited set of contracts and draft picks to use in trades, their best basketball may be behind them.
