What happens when trolling meets trade buzz? On World Photography Day, the New York Knicks tried to spark some harmless nostalgia with a post asking fans for their favorite Knicks photo of all time. The Milwaukee Bucks didn’t hesitate to jump in. Their answer? A snapshot of Giannis Antetokounmpo throwing down a dunk against the Knicks. And well, how much sarcasm is too much sarcasm? Because this wasn’t just about a photo.
New York has been circling Giannis for months. According to The Athletic’s James L. Edwards III, Leon Rose and his front office have been closely “monitoring” the situation in Milwaukee. ESPN’s Shams Charania added more fuel to the whole scenario in the last few weeks, noting that Antetokounmpo is still “evaluating his future” and hasn’t locked in long-term with the Bucks.

Meanwhile, trade hypotheticals are piling up, including wild three-team proposals sending Giannis to the Knicks in exchange for Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart, and multiple future picks. So, was Milwaukee’s post just banter, or a calculated reminder that Giannis belongs to them? With the two-time MVP still weighing his path, the trolling only… sharpens the intrigue. And what happens next? Well, come back here to find out!
