On Sunday, the eyes of the social media world were became squarely focused on Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was asked a direct question on social media that he answered as directly as humanly possible. The Bucks forward's answer turned heads on social media as he fueled speculation of an offseason move to the Knicks.

“New York,” Antetokounmpo replied. This comment has garnered attention amid ongoing trade rumors and an upcoming meeting with Bucks management to discuss his future with the team, as reported by NBA newsbreaker Chris Haynes. Antetokounmpo, of course, is fueling speculation that he’d request a trade, intentional or not.

Antetokounmpo alone gives the Knicks depth, as he is another top scoring option who also plays exceptional defense. The Knicks don’t have a third option who can take over games consistently, and bringing him in can change the entire dynamic of the Knicks on both ends of the floor.

For the record, the Bucks have said nothing about being interested in trading Giannis and Antetokounmpo has always reaffirmed his commitment to the Bucks. He's under contract through 2028.
