The New York Knicks may have to keep a watchful eye on yet another marquee superstar who may hit the trade block in the not-so-distant future.
Milwaukee Bucks’ two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is reportedly not as happy with the franchise as he once was. Sportsnaut’s Jason Burgos relayed a CBS Sports report that shared sentiments from an NBA executive regarding the likelihood of Antetokounmpo getting dealt by the trade deadline:
On Thursday afternoon, CBS Sports reported that according to one Western Conference exec, ‘Teams are circling — and hopeful’ of a potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trade happening before February’s trade deadline,” Burgos noted.
“A different exec from a franchise that could be a contender for the eight-time All-Star more boldly suggested, ‘I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened by the trade deadline.’ Furthermore, the word around the NBA is that the Miami Heat and the Brooklyn Nets are the Greek superstar’s preferred destinations in a potential monster trade.”
