The Knicks intends to buy Antetokounmpo, and may make a "tsunami-style" offer

According to local Milwaukee reporter Gery Woelfel, the New York Knicks are preparing to submit a "tsunami-style" offer to the Milwaukee Bucks in order to win the deal to get superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo (Antetokounmpo). This news has attracted widespread attention. As one of the most dominant players in the NBA today, Antetokounmpo's whereabouts will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the league structure.

Knicks' trading chips

The Knicks achieved a record of 51 wins and 31 losses in the regular season this season, but lost to the Indiana Pacers 2-4 in the Eastern Conference Finals and missed the finals. In order to further enhance the team's strength, they plan to make major signings during the offseason. It is reported that the Knicks' possible trading chips include Carl Anthony Towns, Taylor Koleck, a protected first-round draft pick from the Washington Wizards, and two first-round swaps. In addition, they may also add main players like Aoji Anunobi or Mikal Bridges as a supplement.

Antetokounmpo's Attraction

Antetokounmpo played 67 games in the 2024-2025 regular season, averaging 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists, plus 0.9 steals and 1.2 blocks. Although the Bucks lost 1-4 to the Pacers in the first round of the playoffs, Antetokounmpo's personal performance is still outstanding, averaging 33 points, 15.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game. His comprehensiveness and dominance make him a player that any team desires.

Bucks' stance

Although the Knicks' offer is very attractive, the Bucks have not yet made it clear whether they are willing to trade Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo's contract with the Bucks is still many years left, and the team may improve its strength through signings to convince Antetokounmpo to stay in the team. In addition, the Bucks may also consider quotes from other teams, including the Raptors, Spurs, Lakers and Rockets.

Kidd's connection with New York

It is worth noting that the Knicks are communicating with the Dallas Mavericks, hoping to arrange an interview with Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd. Kidd coached Antetokounmpo for four years with the Bucks. The two have a close relationship, which also adds a hint of possibility to the Knicks' trading plan. If Kidd can join the Knicks, his reunion with Antetokounmpo's master and apprentice could be a key factor in the deal.

Summary

Knicks' "tsunami-style" quotes show their strong interest in Antetokounmpo and their determination to build a championship roster. However, it remains unknown whether the Bucks will accept the offer. Antetokounmpo's future direction will not only affect the future of the Knicks and the Bucks, but may also change the overall NBA landscape.
