According to a report from longtime NBA reporter Gery Woelfel, New York is preparing to make a "tsunami-type offer" to trade for Antetokounmpo. In addition, the Knicks may be trying to bring in a favorite of the superstar forward to be their new head coach.

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson wasn't always a superstar at the NBA level. The No. 33 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft spent four years with the Dallas Mavericks, showing star potential. It wasn't until Brunson left the Mavericks for the Knicks in free agency before the 2022-23 season that he made that star-level leap.

When the Knicks parted ways with Tom Thibodeau, it seemed risky not to have a replacement in place. And they have reportedly made their first move as the Knicks are expected to formally request permission to speak to Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd.
