The New York Knicks should be flattered that Giannis Antetokounmpo reportedly has gaga eyes for them. They should also be terrified that his interest becomes an unnecessary distraction.
There won’t be anything for the Knicks to worry about if the chatter subsides. Except, it doesn’t sound like it will.
Giannis is expected to continuously re-evaluate his future with the Milwaukee Bucks moving forward, and New York topped his preliminary offseason wishlist, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. If the Knicks had Giannis’ attention over the summer, they should still have it in February, or next summer.
