Explosive news! Giannis has chosen his new destination! Could this be the NBA finale?

Shams:If Giannis leaves the Bucks, the Knicks are the only team he wishes to play for.This summer, the Knicks engaged in talks with the Bucks about Giannis, but the negotiations did not come to fruition.

Giannis is currently 30 years old; last season he posted averages of 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game with a 60.1% field goal percentage in the regular season. In the playoffs, he delivered 33 points, 15.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block per game, shooting 60.6%.

His current contract runs through the summer of 2028, with a player option in the summer of 2027. His salaries for the next three seasons are an impressive $54.13 million, $58.46 million, and $62.79 million respectively.

The Knicks are already a top contender in the Eastern Conference, and adding Giannis would make them nearly unstoppable, turning them into the NBA’s number one championship favorite. Last regular season, the Knicks finished third in the East with a 51-31 record and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals this year.

Not only are the Knicks a strong team, but they are also based in the major international city of New York, offering Giannis commercial value and exposure that Milwaukee simply cannot match. At his age, it’s also time for him to plan ahead for life after basketball.

The Bucks have been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for three consecutive years and lost Lillard this offseason, leaving them without championship-caliber strength. Giannis’s current teammates include Kuzma, Turner, and Portis — none of whom are All-Star level players. Relying on a single star to win a title in today’s league is extremely difficult, which is why the Greek Freak is deeply concerned about the current situation.

At the recent media day, Giannis openly stated that he has always wanted to play for a team with a real chance to win a championship. This was both a declaration to the entire league and a message to the Bucks’ management that he is serious.

As mentioned, Giannis can opt out of his player option and become a free agent as early as the summer of 2027. The Bucks obviously don’t want to lose him for nothing, so if they lack confidence in retaining him, they may start a trade process within the next two seasons to acquire substantial assets for rebuilding.

With the Knicks as Giannis’s only designated new team and having already engaged with the Bucks, get ready for a bombshell that could shake the entire NBA!
