According to NBA insider Shams Charania of ESPN, if the Milwaukee Bucks are open to discussing Giannis Antetokounmpo with teams, the New York Knicks will no longer have the exclusive negotiating window as his preferred destination.

“If you lose Giannis, it can’t be just a couple of players. It’s got to be pack draft picks. You don’t have draft capital," Smith added. "So now the only way you can get him is if he forces his way out of Milwaukee, and he’s not willing to do that yet because he feels he owes the organization and the city."

The New York Knicks guard was joined by his 2-year-old son Haze Dana on the bench during the game against the Orlando Magic on Sunday, Dec. 7 during Kids Day at Madison Square Garden. But when Hart had to enter the game quickly, he had to pass his son to a surprised teammate, Mitchell Robinson.

Windhorst appeared on “The Rich Eisen Show” on Thursday and disputed his own comments from Wednesday, when he told 850 ESPN Cleveland that Antetokounmpo had formally requested a trade and identified the New York Knicks as his preferred destination.
