As such, the prevailing belief is that they are waiting for the championship series to conclude before exploring a potential trade with the Knicks for Giannis Antetokounmpo should New York come up short in its title bid.
"Also: There is an increasing belief leaguewide that they would prefer to wait until after the NBA Finals before completing a deal to see if the Knicks end up squandering a 2-0 series lead. Might the Knicks then decide to re-enter the Giannis Trade Sweepstakes in response to the disappointment of letting the title slip away?" NBA insiders Marc Stein and Jake Fischer wrote.
Bucks, Knicks have significant ties to Giannis
Dating back to last year's offseason, the New York Knicks are originally one of the most well-known teams that previously expressed interest in Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The connection can't be any more compelling, considering that it was heavily noted that the Greek superstar identifies New York as his preferred destination outside Milwaukee.
