Knicks landing Giannis Antetokounmpo would have painful ramifications

Fans woke up in a panic on Tuesday morning after seeing Shams Charania's tweet that the New York Knicks "emerged as the only team Giannis Antetokounmpo desired outside of Milwaukee in the offseason." It read like a follow-up tweet about the Knicks trading for Antetokounmpo.

Some fans might have been disappointed when they realized a trade hadn't happened, but it's a good thing one didn't. Why? Because New York would lose key players (like OG Anunoby) and gut its depth in the process. Antetokounmpo is otherworldly, but it turns out that depth is kind of important when it comes to winning a championship.
