Milwaukee In CRISIS! MAJOR UPDATE On Knicks Trade Plans For Giannis Antetokounmpo | Knicks News
This is insane. The entire world has been watching the Giannis attempt to kmpo situation, waiting to see if he was going to be available for trade. And then today, magically, the Milwaukee Bucks make a move, make a signing that nobody saw coming. And once it happened, everybody thought, “This is it. Giannis is not going to be traded. He is good.” And if you thought that, you’re gonna be wrong. Even though the Milwaukee Bucks signed Miles Turner, Giannis Attempt Kmpo did not know that in order for the Bucks to do that, they were going to have to let go of Damen Lillard. And once the Bucks announced that, Giannis Attempt Kmpo was very unhappy. He was upset and he is not okay with Milwaukee right now or the direction the Bucks are headed in.

The entire league, the entire NBA landscape has been watching Giannis, watching the situation in Milwaukee and thinking to themselves, when is the other shoe going to fall? When is Milwaukee going to say to themselves, I guess we can’t build a contender? And then if that happened, it was likely Giannis was going to request out and ask for a trade out of Milwaukee. Even the New York Knicks did not want to make any type of trades, not even for Kevin Durant, because they knew if they made a trade for KD and Giannis Attenta would be made available, they would not have enough assets to make that trade to trade for Giannis. So because of that, they have done nothing. Like the rest of the NBA world, they have sat and they have been patient watching the Milwaukee Bucks and watching Giannis attent. Brian Winhorse, an ESPN NBA insider, also confirms that the Knicks are only waiting for one target and once he’s available, they’re going to do everything in their power to target him and try to get him on this team. He’s talking about Giannis. According to Winhorse, we’ll see if the Knicks do anything else to their roster. They look like they’re set, but we got some big unknowns out there in the league right now. And according to Tim Bontemps, Brian Winhorse is foreshadowing a move for the Knicks. First of all, everybody thought that the Milwaukee Bucks were potentially not going to trade Giannis attent because everybody thought that potentially the Bucks were going to build a contender around Giannis. Everybody almost closed up every single trade report. Why? Because the Milwaukee Bucks made a move nobody expected. This is insane. The world has been waiting to see what Giannis Atenente Kmpo will do. Then the Bucks made a major move signing Miles Turner. That means everything is fine, right? Wrong. In order to make this move, the Bucks had to release Damen Lillard. A move that Giannis was very unhappy with. And because of that move, the door for Giannis attentially requesting a trade out of Milwaukee has swung all the way wide open. Once again, according to Shams, as you can see here, breaking free agent center Miles Turner has agreed to a 4-year $107 million deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, plus a player option for year four. in the 2028 2029 season and a full 15% trade kicker. According to Sham Shirania, the Bucks GM John Horst and Ca co-head of basketball Austin Brown partnered on executing a massive deal in a market scarce of salary cap space during the opening days of free agency. Milwaukee retools aggressively around Giannis attent. Now everybody thinks you’re happy, right? That’s great. Giannis is good, right? Wrong. Giannis is not good. In fact, he’s horrible right now. He’s unhappy. Why? Because in order to sign Turner, they had to let go of Damian Lillard. And the way they did it hurts the Bucks for years to come. This is exactly what the Bucks did with Damen Lillard. The Milwaukee Bucks are waving Damen Lillard and stretching the remaining 113 million on his contract in order to acquire Miles Turner. Lillard’s two seasons in Milwaukee comes to an end as he rehabilitates a torn Achilles tendon. In 2025, 2026 to 2029, 2030, the Milwaukee Bucks will be paying Damen Lillard 22.5 million. 22.5 million for years because they wanted to sign Miles Turner and Giannis Attenta Kmpo who helped the Milwaukee Bucks sign Miles Turner in free agency. He didn’t know by doing that he was shooting himself in the foot. Why do I say that? Oh, I don’t know. Well, because after this happened, you would think that your star would be happy. He’s not happy. In fact, reports are indicating that after this signing, he’s absolutely upset, unhappy, and not okay with Milwaukee. Breaking from Chris Haynes. By the way, Chris Haynes, very, very good friends and close with Damen Lillard. According to him, Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis attendent Kmpo, he’s not pleased with the team’s decision to wave Damen Lillard. And this is what he put out there once that announcement was official. His mood 100. I don’t know what this picture is, but I do know what it says on the bottom there. I don’t know what’s going on right now, man. And if that’s not bad enough, check out this update from Brian Winhorse of ESPN. According to him, my concern for the Bucks’s fourthcoming pitch to Giannis to want to be there long term is they didn’t move the needle enough by adding Miles Turner. And Brian Winhorse thinks adding Miles Turner is not enough to keep Giannis in Milwaukee. Your superstar, Giannis attent you convinced, seemingly convinced in the dark to get Miles Turner on the Milwaukee Bucks. And then you go right around him and you wave Damen Lillard so you can make that move happen. And in the process you anger Giannis attent. And if you’re the Knicks, if you’re every team in the NBA, this is what you were waiting for. This moment where there was a situation, an issue that happened in Milwaukee. What are the Knicks waiting for? right now. What situation are they waiting on? They’re waiting on Giannis Aente Kmpo. Let me make it clear. They haven’t made any major trades, any major deals because they have been waiting on Giannis. Let’s go ahead and break down this report as well too. Here, shout out to New York basketball on the app X for giving us this following information here. Brian Winhorse stated the following. Teams like San Antonio, Houston, Miami, New York specifically have stayed out of other major transactions and saved assets to potentially chase Giannis because they’re not sure that Giannis is going to like the Milwaukee Bucks and what they’re going to be doing to contend for an NBA championship next season. So, let me get this straight. Giannis Attentempo right now is upset. He’s angry. He’s mad. And he’s not happy with the direction that the Milwaukee Bucks are going in. Yes, they added Miles Turner. Yes, they’re bringing back some other players they had last year to shore up their team, shore up their bench, and create a contender. But I know for a fact just because Chris Haynes said it and you know Chris Haynes, he is very tight with Damen Lillard. So if he’s saying this, I believe it. He reported that Giannis is absolutely upset with what happened today with Damen Lillard. And that opens the door potentially for him requesting a trade out of Milwaukee. Now, I’m not saying that alone is going to determine whether Giannis requests a trade out of Milwaukee or not. I’m sure a couple of other factors need to happen in order for Giannis to request that trade out of Milwaukee. But here’s the thing, and we already know this thanks to Ian Begley and Christian Winfield from the New York Daily News. If the Knicks are going to land Giannis attent, the only way for them to do that is for Giannis to go to the Milwaukee Bucks directly and say, “I don’t want to be here. I want to go to New York and that’s where I want to play.” That’s where I want my next team to be. If he does that, then it’s likely the Milwaukee Bucks will talk to the New York Knicks and try to get a trade done. But if that doesn’t happen, it might be very difficult for the Knicks to pull off a trade. I say difficult because it is going to be hard, but hard doesn’t mean impossible. And for everybody who was telling me that the Giannis attent for a trade being done or a trade happening, everybody was telling me that door is shut. Is it shut? Because I’m looking over here and I’m thinking to myself, Giannis is not pleased that the Milwaukee Bucks waved Damen Lillard. His mood is like this as the following. He doesn’t know what’s going on right now. I don’t know about you guys, but if your superstar after you make a major acquisition, a major move in free agency to get a player like Miles Turner, you do all of that and your star is still not happy. All of these reports, they seem to indicate that potentially Giannis Attento could be leaving Milwaukee via trade. And if that happens, the New York Knicks will be one of the first teams on the list calling Milwaukee trying to trade for him. And if you know anything about the Knicks in this front office, if they want something and they need to trade for that person to get it, they’re going to do it. And nine times out of 10, they’re going to be successful and pull off that deal. And right now, I’m being patient and I’m waiting for that exact moment to happen. But what about you guys? What do you think about this entire situation going on with the Milwaukee Bucks? Giannis Attento is now unhappy. And because of all of that, that now opens the door to him potentially being traded. How do you guys feel about all of these reports and this entire situation? Let me know in the comments 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.

The Milwaukee Bucks have a major crisis on their hands and it’s all surrounding SUPERSTAR Giannis Antetokounmpo! According to reports, even though Giannis helped the Bucks get Myles Turner, it seems he didn’t know that to do that, Milwaukee would need to waive Damian Lillard. Once that was announced, everything changed. Per reports, Giannis is now extremely upset and unhappy with the Bucks direction and potentially, this pushes the door wide open for a Giannis trade. With regards to NY, this is exactly what they have been waiting for. Their trade plans have always been about Giannis and now they could have the very opportunity they waited for… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

I just wish you were a little more aggresive in your intro . , We need to pull that out of you, Maybe for the home opener you can kick the shit out of 1 of your fans right before tip offs when your giving your final opnion of the preseason. STAY BLESSED FOLKS !!! ITS THE RED WHITE & BLUE !!!
❤
Didn’t he react the same when Middleton was traded? Why is this different? Why would Knicks even want Giannis? Did you watch the finals? We need depth. And Giannis is not gonna help with that.
The Bucks In crisis are you trolling😂
Could very well Milwaukee took Myles cause they lnow thwre losing their big in Giannis, and what diff does it make it Giannis gets made if they drop Wade if they feel hes gonna leave they mind as well prepare to put a decent team out there for when hes gone. And the no brainer was taking "Dead Money" and creating a smart signing out of it. and im hearing they did Lilliard wrong , No respect. They hooked him up big time, He can now chopse where he wants to go play mid next year and go chase a ring or be close to home, or chase the dollar, They left ball in his court and fulfilled a vacant spot for the 1st half of the season. Everyone should be happy there , I exceot the bucks fans ultimately cause the team is gently veing stripped down slowly, So yea I feel Giannis will be out of there and He will be a Knick but for a steep price of players. Soon to come it has to make sense for all parties Bucks want to be relvant now it seems which is good for us. Doesnt seem like a full rebuild, Pick hunting, cause we lose that deal. But if they want some talented veterans we can do that. I bet you if this goes down there will be a third team involved maybe even a 4th, n 5th team. In excited. Btw Mike Brown will be a great coach for.this unit.
The thing about the Bucks releasing Damian Lillard is that Damien Lillard himself is happy about the release. He gets to be with family, rehab, relax,still get paid, and choose a team that he wasn't to play for when he's out of rehab.
This is just a click- bait loud mouth garbage mouth… He's a nothing sick poison Burger…
If Lebron goes to the Cavs expect Giannis to the Knicks.
The bucks desperately need scoring so itll take KAT and Bridges plus others. But to me its too much, I wanna see em just run it back with what we got and develop these recent draft picks.
They want him to ask for a trade
I dont think he's leaving the Bucks and if the Knicks want him Milwaukee shiukd ask for Brunson + ither players/ picks.
Damian is happy with the buyout and goes to Miami…Knicks won't make ECF this year…I think Giannis asks for a trade to Miami Heat in 2026
Myles Turner has done absolutely nothing in the entire playoffs so it wouldn’t have changed anything regardless of Dame being there or not it’s just made it worse though by leaving him. I don’t know what’s taking Giannis so long to just request the trade. It’s ridiculous at this point. He’s just a glutton for punishment.
I am not sure. I like our team. To get Giannis we'll have to gut the team. I'd be willing to trade Mitch, Bridges, Duce and maybe get another team involved but that's a dream. Milwaukee will want a lot in return. So I'm not sure.
Giannis playing all sides. He was in the know.
The Knicks are not getting Giannis. Not happening ever. Never ever.
The Bucks drafted Giannis, gave him a shot when others thought he was a scrub, helped him win a championship. Now that the chips are clearly down, he wants out. Sorry, you’ve got nothing else to offer his greedy a$$. He’s gone.
KAT McBride, and all frist rounder we have left
I think it's a smoke screen to make us waste time when this move just gives the Bucks a double big man line up.
They straight up guilt tripping Giannis with this move.
Giannis ain't going anywhere.
I want him but don’t give away OG
What's the compensation gonna look like to get him
I’m with DragonNYC on this one! I like our team! Plus I can see Giannis and Miles Turner butting heads and making it easy to get past the Bucks if we meet them in the playoffs. I think with our new picks we can win this coming year. As long as KAT loses a few pounds and stops shooting 75 ft 3 balls!😅
We have a winning squad, now with this new bench we can be unstoppable!!! My personal opinion!
The Knicks would have to trade their whole team for Giannis. They shouldn't have traded 5 first-rounders if they wanted a chance at Giannis.
No, please bro stop this Giannis Trade 😔 We Knicks not getting him.
The Knicks would have to trade Towns or OG , to make the money work . We don't have draft picks , so we would probably have to trade young guys to build with. Kolek to give them a point guard , Deuce, and Dadiet .
DELETE THIS MESS!! GIANNIS IS THE CITY OF MILWAUKEE (INVESTED) HE'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE AT ALL. GIVE IT UP!
Giannis isn’t going anywhere
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂MAN SIT YO CLOWN KNICK DELUSIONAL ASS DOWN CLOWN FOOL THAT BUM NOT LEAVING FOOL!
I don't know why any Knicks fan, that's been a fan for a long long time would be happy with a superstar sucking up the whole salary cap, and leaving the team worthless, the way it happened when Carmelo came to NY … We don't want Superstars, because it's hard to build a team around them, because of the obvious salary cap situation that signing a superstar brings .. screw Giannis, and let's go with what we have now , and let other teams get screwed up with superstars that they can't build a significant or worthy team around. Let's not bring that headache here!!!
Anyone that advocates for a superstar on their team , just shows me how little they know about this game and sports in general.. because it's the same situation especially in the NFL , where Dak Prescott who's definitely nowhere near a superstar, has sucked up most of the salary cap, and Jerry Jones is having a hard time building around him. No sports team in the world today needs Superstars. Have a couple All-Stars on the other hand would be the better choice, until they begin to command too much money. The young talent that's coming up in sports in general, is so much better nowadays than back in the days, that they can win without superstars. Take for example OKC, a young team that won the NBA finals with mostly young talent.
Screw Giannis,; he will never win another NBA finals as long as he gets paid the way he does
Bro most of your news be wrong where your facts. It like you want to be first to be wrong.
Bri this channel is all about capping. It’s a joke bunch of BS
Knicks should sign Dame for the veteran minimum. The Bucks are basically paying his salary.
The Bucks wouldn’t want Towns, because they just signed Turner.
Will you stop with this bull we want real stuff on the knicks not the bull. I have been a Knicks fan since 1968 please stop this
Everybody has to have a dream. Even if there is zero chance it happens. Keep dreaming hard bro because that's the closest you'll ever get to seeing Giannis is a Knick uniform.
These morons are paying $47M/yr for the opportunity to ink Miles Turner? Wowzers
If I’m Knicks sign dame and tell Giannas come make it right with dame in NY and become the of NY and the League
We don’t need Giannis. We need a rim protector to backup Mitchell Robinson, and another point guard, like Chris Paul.
I’d be ok with KAT and Bridges or Anunoby for him and then sign Lillard. All Three of those Knicks don’t seem bought in on NY and they lack the toughness needed in NY.
Man everybody knows Giannis knew about Dame getting cut, especially in Milwaukee, y'all too thirsty…………
Man , I can’t call it. Just like everyone else 🤙🏽
*im waiting
Old news your reaching for content on this one besides Knicks have nothing to give them they let brunson gas them to get role player bridges for 5 picks listening to the midget Knicks blew their chances
You’re a moe ron, and what’s actually insane, lol, Giannis is friends with Dame, so he’s upset, but he’s not going anywhere, especially the Knicks, lol, the bucks should be going after CP3, the Knicks still don’t have enough assets for Giannis, unless they’re allowed to play 3 on 5 becuse they wouldn’t have enough players left if they traded for him, lol
would probably have to be og and mitch atleast
GET A GRIP
He's not going anywhere
