Giannis to the Knicks? Ian Begley on What’s Real, What’s Cap & How a Trade Would Actually Work


Listen Later

Would Giannis really leave Milwaukee… and could he actually end up in New York?

In this special Giannis-focused mini-episode, CP The Fanchise is joined by SNY Knicks Insider Ian Begley to unpack the latest noise around Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Knicks — what’s real, what’s leverage, and what it would actually take for Leon Rose to pull this off.

We break down:

  • What the Knicks offered the Bucks this summer and why it was more than “just footsie”
  • How Giannis views New York and the appeal of delivering a ring to the Knicks for the first time since ’73
  • Why a mid-season trade is a Herculean cap and asset puzzle under the new CBA and second apron
  • How other teams could still outbid the Knicks — even for a short-term “rental” run
  • The tightrope of landing Giannis without gutting the roster and depth that made the Knicks relevant again
  • What it would mean for guys like Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, Mitch Robinson and the rest of the core
  • Whether Giannis could “strong-arm” his way to New York by weaponizing his extension and future free agency

This is a deep, front-office-level breakdown of the Giannis situation from a Knicks point of view — the cap, the politics, the locker room dynamics and the long-term stakes.
