The New York Knicks are coming off of a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals and are an early favorite to return this season. Yet at the same time, a bombshell report shows that they had a shot to add Giannis Antetokounmpo -- and they were unable to take advantage because of Mikal Bridges.
The entire NBA has been sitting with popcorn in hand and trade packages lined up watching to see if Antetokounmpo would finally request a trade. He has long maintained publicly that his top concern is competing for championships, and each time there has been doubt the Milwaukee Bucks have pulled off a major move and Giannis has signed a contract extension to stay with the Bucks.
