trade as Giannis is now open to exploring different options this summer but what are those options what team could he play for if not Milwaukee well shout out to Bulvvada official and the odd makers over there for giving us this following information here according to them where will Giannis play game one of the 2025 2026 NBA season if not with the Milwaukee Bucks according to these odds the Knicks are the favorites at plus 300 to trade for Giannis and get him on this team if he chooses to leave Milwaukee the teams after the Knicks the Raptors plus450 the Spurs plus 600 the Rockets plus 800 and then everybody else is at plus 1,200 or higher meaning their chances of landing Giannis is extremely low and there is one team on this list that is constantly mentioned in the Giannis trade talks and that’s the Brooklyn Nets and the main reason for that is because they’re in New York and if you know Giannis he has said multiple times that he loves to play in New York and playing in New York brings out a better basketball side in him so clearly everybody believes that the two teams he could join are the Knicks or the Brooklyn Nets but if you look at the odds here Brooklyn is at plus,200 to land Giannis while the Knicks are plus 300 that’s not an accident yes Giannis wants to play in New York but he doesn’t just want to play in New York he wants to win he wants to win championships so if you’re looking at the New York market and you’re looking at both teams which team would you want to join the Knicks or the Nets very easy answer it’s the Knicks and that’s why New York has the best odds at this point to trade for Giannis where there’s smoke there’s fire giannis has been linked to the Knicks for a number of seasons now and as soon as the Bucks were eliminated from the postseason the Giannis to the Knicks reports got even louder clearly the odd makers believe that the Knicks will be Giannis’s next team because New York checks all the boxes it gives him a place to win check he loves the New York market the Knicks are the main team in the New York market check and also if Giannis is going to be loyal to a team that’s not the Milwaukee Bucks it should be the New York Knicks can you imagine the star power he’s going to have if he joins the Knicks and wants to help us win a title that would be a legendary move and all Giannis has to do and in all reality Giannis must do this he has to go to the Bucks and directly request a trade to the New York Knicks if he does that I fully believe Milwaukee and the Knicks will work together to have a trade get done and for the Knicks to acquire Giannis but it is going to have to require Giannis to go to the Bucks and request that trade directly and for everyone who doesn’t believe Giannis will be traded this off season I’m telling you a Giannis trade is still open and the Knicks have the best odds to land him via trade and get him on this roster and shout out to Alan Han who gave us this following information on his radio show according to him will the New York Knicks try and make a big splash with the East now wide open and according to Alan Han he says the following giannis is still in play giannis attent and a trade for him is still in play this is a new report a recent report and it tells you everything you need to know giannis is currently exploring his options and seeing what other teams are a better fit for him other than the Milwaukee Bucks and I’m not the only one who’s saying this i reported on this a few days ago but let’s go back to that report from Shams shout out to New York basketball on the app X and NBA insider with ESPN Shams for giving us this following information here according to him Giannis is open-minded about exploring what’s the best fit for him is it in Milwaukee or outside of Milwaukee this process includes seeing what the Bucks can do to elevate that team the next several weeks will be very important for Giannis and if he stays or goes from the Milwaukee Bucks giannis can absolutely be traded everyone is worried about the trade package and if that’s not enough for you Sham said the following about Giannis and him potentially being traded don’t shut the door on a Giannis attempt to ko trade this off season not just yet according to Shams he explained the scenario in which the two-time NBA MVP could get traded later this summer here’s what he had to say exactly according to Shams a lot of observing he’s been there for 12 years so there’s going to be that equity given to the Bucks to see what they can do during the draft week free agency week how much they can improve this team in their moves he said it he wants to compete for championships can the Bucks make those championship moves his future I’ve said it for the last few weeks it won’t be tied to the draft it won’t be tied to free agency if there is a resolution on Giannis Aenta Kmpo it could be later in the summer ladies and gentlemen the door is wide open on a Giannis trade the simple truth of the matter is if you want to trade for Giannis Carl Anthony Towns must be included in that trade for the main reason of salary of cap if you want to match Giannis’s salary then you have to add another player that can do that and Carl Anthony Towns checks that box now I wish I hope it could be a Giannis for cat swap because if the Knicks are able to pull that off you can vault them to the top of the NBA as one of the main teams likely going to the NBA finals but the Milwaukee Bucks they’re likely going to ask for more picks more pieces and more assets and if that’s the case New York will definitely pay to play here now I’m not sure how many assets Milwaukee will want back but I do know one thing this trade will be influenced by Giannis Aenta Kmpo himself if he tells the Milwaukee Bucks he does not want to be traded to any other team but New York it gives New York power and leverage that means they can put together a trade package that might make sense at least for salary but in terms of giving away a lot of assets they might not have to do that because Giannis is forcing their hand and the entire league knows it and if the league knows that then they’re not going to be aggressive with the trade offers they’re giving Milwaukee that means the Knicks will have the best offer on the table and since the Bucks know that Giannis wants to leave they’ll be even more pressured to accept any offer on the table again certain things need to happen in order for the Knicks to trade for Giannis but it’s not impossible it may be improbable it may be a long shot but a long shot is still a shot and there have been so many reports out there linking Giannis to the Knicks the odd makers even believe that the Knicks are the favorites to land Giannis at plus 300 if he leaves the Milwaukee Bucks vegas believes it that means Vegas knows something that we don’t know maybe Vegas understands what conversations Leon Rose and this Knicks front office is having right now we know we’ve known for weeks now that the Knicks are gearing up they’re ready they’re prepared to make a major trade happen this off season a blockbuster trade and while there are some stars out there that the Knicks could potentially trade for there is nothing that defines a blockbuster trade like the Knicks trading for Giannis that trade is on the table it’s out there the door is open don’t let anybody tell you differently giannis could be moved this off season and the main team that could trade for him at least according to the odd makers to Vegas to all the reports out there are the New York Knicks i’m going to believe in that i’m going to believe in Leon Rose i’m going to believe in this Knicks front office tell them we can’t tell them it’s impossible tell them you’re never going to get Giannis because once that’s out there Leon Rose will make it his mission in life to trade for Giannis and get him on this team as of right now Giannis is still in play and the Knicks they’re the favorites to trade for him but what about you guys what do you think about the odd makers giving the Knicks the best chances here to land Giannis and I want to mention again and shout out to the great Alan Han for giving us this information Giannis is still in play and as long as that’s the case the Knicks will never stop trying to pursue Giannis especially via trade let me know how you feel about that in the comment section below guys because honestly I would love to hear from you but that’s going to do it for this episode i hope you enjoyed it and if you did go ahead and smash that like button leave a comment below and of course guys please subscribe to the channel until next time Nick fans take care of yourself your families and each other peace and

Bucks not trading him.. He sells tickets for starters. And the Knicks or anyone else will have to blow up their team.
Hey ain’t going anywhere
Multiple reports has stated Milwaukee favors OG over KAT
These rumors are hot garbage until Giannis says he wants to get traded
If the Knicks dont improved their bench it doesn't matter who they get.
Who said we’re the favorites
I don’t want him. I don’t want to trade all the assets we have. If a few more. balls hit, and if we made a couple more stops, the Knicks would’ve went to the finals. And they would’ve beaten the thunder. People aren’t realizing that by the time they got to Indiana, they were exhausted. And fundamentally they were playing injured. Tom Thibodeau has a reputation for running players to the ground. And he did. I wanna keep what we have. Maybe add a couple of worthwhile bench players, and see how it goes. I think this team is a lot better than people think it is. Let’s see Karl-Anthony towns play without a broken finger. Let’s see Jalen Brunson play without a bum knee.
Gonna have to give up the farm for him. 😂
It's not gonna happen we don't have the assets
Been hearing rumors of stars for years and they never come.
It would take Kat,Mitch,OG, and maybe McBride too make that happen.
Bucks not trading him and we don’t need Gianni’s let’s focus on getting a coach that can maximize our core and get bench depth from free agency enough with the Gianni’s talk
No way 😅😅
It’s all lies just like the stupid Jason Kidd rumors not happening. The knicks don’t have the assets or draft capital.
They can and should keep KAT. OG with Giannis makes little sense. Bye bye OG
Hi Troy, thank you for the update. 🙏🏽
Which NY teams?
The NY Knicks or the Brooklyn Nets?
Only Giannis knows.
We get our answer, if the Knicks get HC Jason Kidd to the team.
Run it back. Maybe get Divincenzo back. But dont gut the core.
Keep dreamin…Giannis wants to retire a Buck. He's going to wait for Dame to come back bc Mil nearly swept Ind last yr. Giannis will hold down the fort with a near 50 win-team consisting of Bobby Portis, Jericho Sims (Mil 21-11 after the deadline trade), KPJ and the rest of 'em till then. Besides, Knicks can't afford him. Ask Bklyn why…
Best hope is when his contract ends in two years.
All this giannis talk it is like trading half the bench. First get a coach that is still not happening as of yet and a defensive and offensive minded coach then if giannis comes to new york all well and good
I would trade this entire list of guys for Giannis & another skilled player if need be. Achuwa, PJ Tucker, Shamet, Cam Payne, Bridges, Deuce, Mitch, Josh Hart. I have faith in our talented young players.
Any trade for Giannis will likely gut the Knicks
Great Knicks content by Troy Mahabir!
Trade KAT, Deuce, a 1st and multiple 1 rd swaps
to bucks for
Giannis.
Then 3 team deal
trade Mitch to lakers
Knecht and Kelber to Minnesota
Divo to Knicks.
Sign Al Horford (MLE)
And shamet and Delon Wright (vet Min)
he has not asked for a trade, so not happening
There is a massive difference between playing in New York than Milwaukee. It would be a perfect fit for both he and the Knicks.
I’m a big Knicks fan ,I don’t believe the Knicks getting Giannis they to dumb as an organization
Leon rose gonna shock the world and get him for bridges and Robinson 😮
This is ridiculous. Sure maybe Giannis would like to come to the Knicks, but until he absolutely is on the trading block, it would be better if you quit reporting on it every 3 seconds. They will have to part with half their team if it ever happens.
Your 🔥🔥 on this was felt on the screen 😂 LFG Troy!!!
I’m not
Falling for this again with superstars
Okay Knick fans let’s look at reality. The Knicks would have more than likely been in the finals this year to compete against OKC. Our problem was NOT using the bench 4-5 players which our players were more than capable of giving 10-15 minutes or so to have the starters fresh. Detroit used 20-25 year old players with significant time, Indiana used Shepherd and Mathurin, 22 & 23 respectively along with the other bench players. The Knicks have the talent right now and a great mixture to get to done with the right coaching. We don’t need to trade Towns and other assets for Giannis. Towns does all the shooting optics well and is willing to stick his nose in and get to the basket. Also a pretty good passer. Set him up to be even more effective. Use the bench. Kolek, etc. They were ready and are ready now. Look what the other teams in the playoffs young talent contributed. Let’s not repeat past mistakes. There’s Good chemistry on this team.
Giannis ain't coming to NY. He's a total Cornball. He's gonna stay in shitty Milwaukee. Click bait😂
