"Enter the New York Knicks, who will be among teams making aggressive offers for Antetokounmpo, according to SNY's Ian Begley. The Miami Heat are also expected to be heavily involved. The Knicks have been heavily linked over the past year to a potential blockbuster for the 31-year-old, who is averaging 28 points and 10 rebounds per game this season. President Leon Rose and the Bucks reportedly held talks in August, but did not gain much momentum as Antetokounmpo was still deliberating his future."
"But the Bucks are going nowhere, and Antetokounmpo obviously wants to get back to a contending team to spend the second half of his career with. The 2021 NBA champion has reportedly expressed a desire to reunite with point guard Jrue Holiday, currently with the Portland Trail Blazers, who the Knicks appear to be in on as well. Winning these sweepstakes would catapult the Knicks back toward the top of the list of championship contenders."
Giannis Antetokounmpo has informed the Milwaukee Bucks that he wants to leave and join a new team. The Bucks sit 12th in the Eastern Conference, and the NBA trade deadline is on Feb. 5, though he is willing to wait until the offseason if no suitable deal is found. The New York Knicks and Miami Heat are expected to pursue him aggressively. Antetokounmpo is averaging 28 points and 10 rebounds per game this season. He has expressed interest in reuniting with point guard Jrue Holiday. A trade for Antetokounmpo would significantly alter the Knicks’ championship outlook. He is expected to miss four to six weeks.
