While acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo would (almost certainly) be a coup for the New York Knicks, it cannot be the only trade they make. Landing him means they also need to bag a floor-spacing rim protector to play center.
This not-so-insignificant caveat has fallen by the wayside in the aftermath of ESPN’s Shams Charania reporting the two-time MVP is, yet again, reevaluating his future with the Milwaukee Bucks. Understandably so.
The last time Giannis reconsidered his place of employment, the Knicks were the only team on his wish list. Though Charania intimates that will not be the case this time around, New York still figures to be high on his next-team big board.
