Giannis has been exceptionally loyal to the Bucks, and it seems like he’s staying on brand. Still, Milwaukee’s inflexibility and lack of top-end talent around the two-time MVP are impossible to ignore. Don’t pencil him into the Bucks’ opening-night starting five just yet. We have a lot of offseason left.

NBA Trade Idea Sends Mavericks Coach Jason Kidd to Knicks originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd coached the Brooklyn Nets for one season (2013-14) after retiring from the NBA in 2013.

Giannis Antetokounmpo may still be one of the league’s best, but ever since his championship run in 2021, things have been rocky for both him and the Milwaukee Bucks.

The Knicks have been the recipient of much criticism from figures in sports media since firing Tom Thibodeau on June 3, with ex-NBA coach P.J. Carlesimo declaring that the team is “their own worst enemy” during a podcast appearance Tuesday.

The Athletic's James L. Edwards III and Fred Katz reported that the Knicks added Tucker to the fold because the front office "believed the locker room needed more leadership, a presence to help with communication issues that had plagued the group both on and off the court all season."

The New York Knicks are not actively seeking a trade for Phoenix Suns superstar Kevin Durant, according to the New York Post, this coming after ESPN reported Wednesday the franchise was one of five teams in the sweepstakes for 15-time All-Star and two-time NBA champion.

The New York Knicks spoke with another famous college figure about their head coaching position, per a report.

After a series of rejections for their head coaching search, Barkley says, “the Knicks gotta be the stupidest damn people in the world.”

Of course the Knicks are interested in trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo. If he decides it’s time to move on from Milwaukee (a decision likely to come closer to the NBA draft), 29 other teams are going to call Bucks GM Jon Horst and kick the tires on a deal.

The Knicks being denied conversations with Finch and Udoka comes shortly after the news that a potential pairing with Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd has become increasingly unlikely, according to reports. The Knicks have not formally requested to interview Kidd, but Dallas would likely block that request.
