When cobbling together trade packages the New York Knicks can put together for Giannis Antetokounmpo, OG Anunoby or their 2033 first-round pick is considered the closest they get to a crown-jewel asset. In reality, it’s Mikal Bridges.
Many will dismiss this debate as immaterial. Though ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that the two-time MVP would only accept a trade to New York over the offseason, the Knicks’ limited cache of assets has most believing they can't land Giannis.
The Knicks cannot trade a first-round pick until the offseason, at which time they can dangle two: whomever they select in 2026, and their 2033 selection.
