Giannis Antetokounmpo officially returning to the Milwaukee Bucks has all sorts of trickle-down effects on the New York Knicks. The most important of them is, somehow, not being talked about enough.
New York’s 2025-26 championship stock is trending further up.
As many already suspected, the two-time MVP has no plans to request a trade. The Bucks bringing back his older brother, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, on a guaranteed deal marks the end of Giannis “exploring options,” according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
This won’t sit right with teams hoping the superstar would push for an imminent change of scenery.
