From an on-court perspective, the Knicks could roll out Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, Antetokounmpo, and Mitchell Robinson as the starting five, with Deuce McBride, Jordan Clarkson, and Guerschon Yabusele as the key rotational pieces.

Even after the Milwaukee Bucks took drastic measures to improve this year's roster, Giannis Antetokounmpo's future remains surprisingly uncertain.

The New York Knicks were deep in Giannis Antetokounmpo's pursuit. According to the latest NBA trade rumors, the Eastern Conference heavyweights also mulled over handing Mikal Bridges a four-year, $150 million extension, assuming that Antetokounmpo might demand a trade.
