Knicks Urged to Strike Blockbuster Trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo
Knicks Urged to Strike Blockbuster Trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Knicks' 2024-25 season came to a close to the Indiana Pacers on Saturday. The Knicks fell in six games in the Eastern Conference final, unable to reach the NBA finals. What can they do to get to the next level? ESPN analyst and former Chicago Bulls' Jay Williams said add Giannis Antetokounmpo. Advertisement On Monday's episode of Get Up, host Mike Greenberg asked Williams if the Knicks should be "moving heaven and earth" to trade for Giannis and put the team "over the top." Williams' answer suggested that adding Giannis would improve the Knicks' lineup by helping the longevity of one of its biggest stars, Jalen Brunson. Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo during game five of the first round for the 2024 NBA Playoffs against the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Ruszkowski-Imagn Images "What puts Jalen Brunson in the best position long-term is to be 1A when you need him to be 1A the most at the end of games," Williams said. "Due to the fact he absorbs so much physicality, I don't need him to carry the load over the course of an 82-game regular season schedule and into the playoffs." Advertisement "A guy like Giannis can carry that load," Williams said on Get Up. Williams acknowledged that the Knicks would have to give up a lot of pieces and assets to bring the Greek Freak to the Big Apple, but it's in the best interest of Brunson's long-term success as the two's play would work well together. Following the game six loss that eliminated Brunson and the Knicks, Brunson expressed his confidence in the team's ability to make another run for the NBA finals next season. "The most confidence. Overconfident," Brunson said in the post-game news conference. I wonder how confident he'd be if they added a former MVP.

Celtics Rumors: Top Realistic Landing Spots For Jrue Holiday
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Boston Celtics are expected to make some drastic changes this offseason following an earlier-than-expected playoff exit. Due to the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), the Celtics will likely be forced to part ways with some key players this summer. Star big man Kristaps Porzingis and guard Jrue Holiday are the most likely names to be moved, with each seeing multiple trade rumors about them. But Boston could make more moves depending on how drastic the front office wants to be. More NBA news: Celtics Linked to Star Big as Kristaps Porzingis Faces Uncertain Future There has been plenty of interest in Holiday on the trade market, despite him having a down season. Holiday is also owed around $104 million over the next three seasons, which could limit trade destinations. But if the Celtics do end up moving on from Holiday, where could he go? Here are the top landing spots for the All-Star guard this offseason: BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - MAY 07: Jrue Holiday #4 of the Boston Celtics celebrates during the third quarter against the New York Knicks in Game Two of the Eastern Conference Second Round NBA Playoffs at TD... BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - MAY 07: Jrue Holiday #4 of the Boston Celtics celebrates during the third quarter against the New York Knicks in Game Two of the Eastern Conference Second Round NBA Playoffs at TD Garden on May 07, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. More Photo by3. New York Knicks The Celtics and Knicks going from playoff rivals to trade partners would be interesting, but it could make some sense. New York needs a little extra push if they want to get over the hump, and Holiday could be the answer. With the Celtics also looking to move on from Porzingis, potentially, maybe the two sides swap Holiday for a package around Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart. The teams would need to add a third team to the mix to complete a deal, in all likelihood, but this is certainly an interesting thought. 2. Minnesota Timberwolves The Timberwolves are coming off a second straight loss in the Western Conference Finals, and the front office could be looking to make a splash. Minnesota needs more ball-handling in the backcourt, and Holiday could make them much more formidable. This team has some key players entering free agency, so a sign-and-trade could be on the cards with the Celtics. Someone like Naz Reid would likely interest Boston, along with a few other pieces to match salaries. 1. Los Angeles Clippers The Clippers have been looking for a true point guard for years, and Holiday has been a target for a long time. Putting him around Kawhi Leonard and James Harden could allow Los Angeles to be even stronger in the Western Conference. Holiday is also from the Los Angeles area, so it would be a homecoming for the star guard. The Clippers have the necessary contracts on the roster already to make a deal between the two teams happen.
