Knicks New York’s flirtation with Giannis Antetokounmpo last offseason never gained traction. The Knicks spoke with Milwaukee about a potential deal after Antetokounmpo identified New York as a preferred destination, but talks stalled.

The Knicks remain interested in Giannis Antetokounmpo, but landing him would be an uphill climb. Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports Milwaukee is seeking blue-chip young talent and multiple first-round picks in any Giannis deal, a price New York is currently not well positioned to meet compared to teams that control more of […] The post Knicks Rumors: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Guerschon Yabusele, Keon Ellis appeared first on Hoops Wire .

Please, blog, may I have some more?

On Thursday, the Dallas Mavericks will retire franchise legend Mark Aguirre’s jersey. Before the game against the Charlotte Hornets, Aguirre spoke to reporters and was unsurprisingly asked about Cooper Flagg. Flagg was the Mavs’ first No. 1 overall pick since Aguirre in 1981, so he understands what Flagg is going through as a rookie. Aguirre […] The post Cooper Flagg receives impactful advice from Mavericks legend appeared first on ClutchPoints .

But, if you look at the way they have played since players spoke […]
