If the New York Knicks decide that Karl-Anthony Towns is not the long-term answer, the most realistic star they can pivot to is not Giannis Antetokounmpo. It is Anthony Davis.
That idea has gained real traction around the league, with many analysts considering the possible move. Even Max Kellerman came on as a guest of The Bill Simmons Podcast and noted, “the Knicks trade that’s not as complicated is AD.”
Those words land because Knicks fans have been talking themselves into Giannis for what seems like many years. The unrest in Milwaukee and the idea that New York could truly swing for the fences is a dream scenario.
