The post NBA rumors: Knicks won't get only shot at Giannis Antetokounmpo trade with Bucks like they did in offseason appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The season has started badly for the Milwaukee Bucks , and star center Giannis Antetokounmpo has begun trade discussions as he ponders his future. Now, there is some discussion about the teams that might pursue him, and that the New York Knicks won't be the only team, according to NBA top insider Shams Charania.
"Over the offseason, Antetokounmpo explored external options and was open to playing for one team outside of Milwaukee -the New York Knicks – as a potential trade home. Sources described it as an exclusive negotiating window for the Knicks for a multi-week period in August, but that will not be the case moving forward," Charania wrote.
With reports of Antetokounmpo cleaning the slate and thinking of his future, this is becoming a quickly developing story. Ultimately, the slow start has sped things up in the process. The Bucks are currently 9-13 and 11th in the Eastern Conference. Additionally, they have gone just 2-8 in their past 10 games, including a 119-95 home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers and a 115-103 home loss to the lowly Portland Trail Blazers .
It's been a long time since the Bucks have struggled this badly, and it now threatens to derail the entire organization. During the offseason, Antetokounmpo had explored outside options and seemed to have his heart set on New York. But the Bucks may end up trading the nine-time All-Star to another team if a better deal comes along.
