Knicks unlikely to be in the mix for potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trade

The insurmountable obstacle now for the Knicks is they already unloaded the most valuable assets, minus Jalen Brunson, to acquire Towns, OG Anunoby and especially Mikal Bridges. As a result, a source declared the Knicks' chances of dealing for Antetokounmpo as "very unlikely." Their offer would get blown away by the competition .

He is not looking to be moved. Milwaukee is not looking to move him. They're looking to try to figure out kind of what went wrong with this roster to start the season here. So, I think we can put away the fictional Giannis trade proposals for right now. There's no concern from that front." -via YouTube / November 6, 2024 Eric Nehm: Bucks coach Doc Rivers: "We didn't really practice, we skeleton'd a lot stuff. We didn't do anything live today."
