Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the three best basketball players on the planet, and when a player of that caliber names the Knicks as a potential destination of interest, it would be malpractice not to immediately make a call. While that is well and true, once you start thinking about what it would take to land the former MVP, it isn't a stretch to say they could be better off without him.
In a vacuum, Antetokounmpo makes any team in the league better. He's won an MVP and been named to nine All-NBA teams for a reason.
