The Milwaukee Bucks showcased their strength throughout the 2024-25 NBA season, paving a solid route to the postseason. However, they encountered substantial obstacles in the first round of the playoffs against the Indiana Pacers. Following the early exit from the playoffs, buzz regarding potential trades for their superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo began to swirl.
The New York Knicks find themselves grappling with tough obstacles in the conference finals against the Indiana Pacers. After a disappointing game four defeat, which ended with a score of 121-130, the pressure is mounting. After the game, Bill Simmons floated an intriguing idea about a potential three-team trade that could see Antetokounmpo making his way to New York.
“I just wonder, instead of Durant, who was in the 2007 Draft and has been around for a long time, does it make more sense to target somebody like Bridges? And then if you’re the Knicks, could you send Bridges for picks and send those picks with Towns for Giannis? And basically turn Towns and Bridges into Giannis would be my question,” Simmons said.
The Knicks are currently 1-3 in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers. They will play Game 5 at Madison Square Garden.
