Noted sports analyst Marc Stein, in a report via his Substack, said that both the Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers may be quite interested in Giannis Antetokounmpo. If Antetokounmpo decides to give up its player option in 2025, these giants of the big market would be well prepared to intervene.
Securing the services of Antetokounmpo would undoubtedly catapult the Knicks into title contention. The franchise has already been linked with other superstar players like Joel Embiid and Paul George. However, the acquisition of Giannis, who boasts a Hall of Fame worthy resume at just 28 years old, could be a game changer.
