Trading Giannis Antetokounmpo to the New York Knicks, his rumored preferred landing spot, could be the last nail in the Milwaukee Bucks' coffin. Moving on from their franchise cornerstone would be bad enough; moving him to a team with a lackluster stash of assets could set this franchise back for a decade or more. A new mock trade from Bleacher Report is proof of that.

This Knicks trade would be a disaster
If the Milwaukee Bucks trade Giannis, they need a clear path forward. When the OKC Thunder traded away Paul George, they got a nice young player in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and a boatload of picks to compensate them.
