Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is set to miss at least two weeks due to a right calf strain. This development has sparked renewed speculation about his potential trade. The New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs have been mentioned as possible suitors, but both teams face significant challenges in acquiring the NBA MVP. According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Spurs may not be as eager to part with key assets as previously thought. In the offseason, they showed reluctance to trade their No. 2 overall pick or Stephon Castle, even for a star player like Giannis. It appears their stance hasn't changed, making it unlikely they'll involve core pieces in a potential trade. The Knicks, meanwhile, are hindered by Karl-Anthony Towns' massive contract. League insiders say the team needs to find a third team willing to absorb Towns' deal in order to stay in the running for Giannis. This scenario has stalled early conversations with the Bucks, leaving the Knicks' pursuit of the NBA MVP in limbo. Some analysts believe the Knicks must be aggressive in trading Towns to Milwaukee, but the Bucks have yet to show significant interest in the big man.
