NBA Rumors: 6 Way-too-early free agency suitors for Giannis Antetokounmpo in 2025

New York Knicks

The New York Knicks have increasingly been patient in their pursuit of a superstar. They’ve been calculated and haven’t thrown around dumb money of late. It has them in a perfect position to pursue the next superstar that either hits the trade or free agency market. Many seem to think that the Knicks have their eyes on Joel Embiid as the star they’re going to go all-in for but if that is a situation that never fully materializes, Giannis Antetokounmpo would theoretically be in play for the Knicks in free agency in 2025.

With Jalen Brunson and RJ Barrett as the two building blocks for the Knicks, it wouldn’t be that insane to think that Giannis would be attracted to such a situation. Playing in one of the biggest cities in America and in the Mecca of Basketball would be an added element. If you insert Giannis into the Knicks roster right now, they’re one of the favorites to win it all this season.

If you allow for the Knicks’ young players to continue to develop over the next couple of seasons, it’s easy to see why New York would emerge as a logical landing spot for Giannis.
