Antetokounmpo reportedly said he is focused on getting healthy and focusing on winning with the Bucks this season.

Unfortunately for the Knicks, ESPN's Kevin Pelton noted the Knicks don't have any of their own first-round picks to trade because of what they gave up to acquire Mikal Bridges last year. The best pick they could include is a top-eight protected pick from the Washington Wizards that would become a second-rounder in 2027 if it doesn't convey.

Knicks face growing trade pressure as Karl-Anthony Towns’ contract blocks their path toward a major move for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

But according to "The Ringer" founder Bill Simmons, the San Antonio Spurs are the wild card in the Antetokounmpo bidding war. "That's like a brain-breaker trade. Just putting Wemby and Giannis on the same team is like," said Simmons, who seemed at a loss for words just thinking about that possibility.
