There are plenty of things to take away from the New York Knicks signing Mikal Bridges to a four-year, $150 million extension. One of the biggest implications of all just so happens to impact the rest of the NBA: Giannis Antetokounmpo clearly isn’t going to get traded this offseason.
Sure, this has always been the most likely outcome. Giannis has not seemed like someone angling for an imminent trade request, and the Milwaukee Bucks almost certainly wouldn’t have waived-and-stretched Damian Lillard to help make room for Myles Turner if they didn’t think it significantly increased the chances their two-time MVP would stick around.
