Giannis to Knicks Trade Would Shake Bucks

Merlin sees the rumor mill swirling again. "The Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors aren't going away any time soon." A viral three-team mock would send Giannis to the Knicks for Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges, Miles McBride and heavy draft capital, a deal that would instantly remake New York and push Milwaukee into a quick rebuild. Merlin notes the package is messy but credible if Giannis privately prefers New York. Milwaukee would collect controllable picks and movable veterans, Portland could swap Jerami Grant for Bridges to speed Deni Avdija's rise, and New York would face real fit questions pairing Giannis with Jalen Brunson. Expect more elaborate hypotheticals; real movement likely waits on Giannis' next public signal.
