The New York Knicks<\/a> are among the franchises floated as potential landing spots for Giannis Antetokounmpo.<\/p>\n

The dynamic Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> superstar is getting real about his NBA future, and with Milwaukee failing to make positive strides since their 2021 championship run, he isn\u2019t 100% sure he wants to continue competing with the franchise.<\/p>\n

Considering Antetokounmpo has previously expressed interest in joining the Knicks and New York has the assets to pull off a blockbuster trade, it makes sense that the two parties have been linked.<\/p>\n

According to the Athletic’s Sam Amick, the Knicks have made their stance clear<\/a> on potentially acquiring the NBA champion forward this season.<\/p>\n

“And then there\u2019s the one team that Antetokounmpo showed a desire to play for last summer \u2014 the New York Knicks,\u201d Amick wrote Sunday. \u201cUntil further notice, the recently-crowned NBA Cup champions are fully invested in their current crop of title-contending talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, the Knicks believe they have a solid enough foundation\/core to flourish without Antetokounmpo in the fold.<\/p>\n

The franchise\u2019s recent success (Eastern Conference Finals appearance and NBA Cup title) suggests that New York has the potential to go the distance with its current roster.<\/p>\n
