New York Knicks fans knew that trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo was a long shot, even after Shams Charania's report last week that he's "ready for a new home." They don't have what other teams can offer. For the fans still holding out hope (and there are plenty), what Brian Windhorst said on Monday on ESPN made the possibility of a trade feel even lower: "The Knicks believe in this team, Greeny, and that could end up being an excellent assessment, or that could end up being a mistake."
Windhorst added that New York isn't showing the "aggression" needed to complete a trade for Giannis.
