Could Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday Join Knicks?

Rumors have swirled that the Knicks could reunite Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday in New York via a blockbuster three-team trade, a "wild rumor" Zach Lowe noted after reporting from Jake Fischer and Marc Stein. Proposed sketches would send Mikal Bridges and Karl Anthony Towns to Portland, unload picks and swap rights to Milwaukee, and use New Orleans as a delay valve on a swap, all so the Knicks can grab two proven stars at the cost of major future assets. Merlin sees the chess board: Milwaukee would regain draft control and a clearer rebuild, Portland would add spacing and size, and the Pelicans would collect timing flexibility. Giannis’ contract situation and reported desire to play in New York give the rumor weight, but the price in picks and young pieces makes this more fairy tale than immediate trade.
