Rumors of the NBA: why Giannis Antetokounmpo almost landed in New York
With the NBA regular season at the corner of the NBA, the superstar of Bucks Giannis Antetokounmpo remains in Milwaukee, but its future is far from settled.
This offseason, it seemed to be that Otentokounmpo could have been in motion after the Bucks had trouble doing a competitive series with the Indiana Pacers in the first round, losing in five games.
Antetokounmpo considered his future in Milwaukee this offseason. According to Shams Charania d’Espn, this contemplation could have led to a new start with the New York Knicks.
The Bucks considered several subcontractors against Antetokounmpo. However, the 30 -year -old superstar from Greece had only the point of leaving Milwaukee for New York.
Charania reported that Bucks and Knicks have engaged in commercial negotiations against Antetokounmpo throughout August. But the traction on an agreement has never materialized while the Bucks were apprehended to exchange a legend of the franchise to an enemy of the Eastern Conference.
Antetokounmpo systematically exerted pressure on the Bucks, declaring several times that he wanted to win another Milwaukee championship. If the Greek monster feels like not not to win with the Bucks, it could have your eyes on a new destination.
It is undeniable that the Knicks are ready to face now. They have the fourth best rating to win the NBA championship and the second best chances of winning the Eastern Conference.
According to Oddsmakers, Cleveland riders are the only team that is held in New York to get out of the East this season. Remember that the Indiana pacers will be without Tyrese Haliburton and the Boston Celtics will be without Jayson Tatum due to the rupture of the Achilles tendons.
The Orient is wide open for taking. This is why some experts in New York will tear the knicks for not having reached the trigger on an agreement to land Antetokounmpo in the Big Apple.
But you need two teams in Tango. And according to Charania reports, the Bucks seemed quite apprehensive to participate in commercial conversations even if they understood that their relationship with their local superstar could be difficult.
Bucks Managing Director Jon Horst was able to go from Damian Lillard, who simply did not work in Milwaukee due to injuries. Then Milwaukee added the great man of the free agent Myles Turner of the Indiana Pacers. If the bucks remain healthy, there is a world where they can make noise in a weakened eastern conference.
Although it seems that Antetokounmpo certainly has your eyes on New York, winning everything. If the Knicks can win a title without him, they will feel like geniuses so as not to mortgage their list and their future for a single player.
While if the Bucks make noise in the NBA qualifiers, Antetokounmpo could be convinced that Milwaukee is a place to face.
It looks like it’s in the riders, in Orlando Magic, in Philadelphia 76ers – or another competitor of the Eastern Conference – to manage business before Entertetokounmpo joined forces with Jalen Brunson.
