Due to the new cap rules, KAT for Giannis can't happen because KAT makes more than Giannis and MIL cannot aggregate. I don't think the Knicks would include Brunson in any trades either. I think the best offer the Knicks could conceivably come up with this year would be OG, Precious, Deuce McBride, Matt Ryan, and every pick/pick swap that's still available to them (Seven 2nd rounders between 2025-2028 ---> maybe consolidate them into 2-3 late 1st rounders and package with the Washington pick along with all the pick swaps Knicks can do).
Of course, the Bucks will most likely have better options out there. But it COULD happen, just like I used to say a Randle+ for KAT could happen.
Basically it'd be OG, Precious, Deuce McBride, Matt Ryan, 3-4 late 1sts, and 3 pick swaps.
A package around your teams best player/ asset for Giannis. Would you do it?

For my Rockets, I would try to limit the number of prospects, and focus on picks.
Sengun
Whitmore
Landale (to make money match)

FVV / Sheppard / Holiday
Green / McVeigh
Brooks / Eason / Tate
Giannis / Amen / Green
Jabari / Adams
If I'm the Bucks I want both of the Terror Twins and Sengun. Pick package can be severely cut back and negotiated
I know your first reflex is to probably say no but Giannis is a top 3 player in the NBA.

They can ask for whatever they want, but they aren't getting that.
