Knicks’ best Giannis trade asset is not who you think

Knicks’ Best Giannis Trade Asset Revealed

Contrary to popular belief, the New York Knicks' most valuable trade asset for Giannis Antetokounmpo is not OG Anunoby, but rather Mikal Bridges.

Many consider OG Anunoby or the Knicks' 2033 first-round pick as the closest to a crown-jewel asset in a potential trade package for Giannis.

However, the Knicks' limited assets and inability to trade a first-round pick until the offseason make a potential deal challenging.

The Milwaukee Bucks' own draft-pick situation is also uncertain, adding complexity to the trade negotiations.

As ESPN's Shams Charania reported, Giannis would only accept a trade to New York over the offseason, but the Knicks' limited cache of assets has most believing they can't land Giannis.

The Knicks cannot trade a first-round pick until the offseason, at which time they can offer two: their 2026 selection and their 2033 selection.
