"They giving Milwaukee the Statue of Liberty" - NBA fans react to Giannis Antetokounmpo receiving 'tsunami' offer from Knicks

The trade offers for Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo could soon start to swarm. While there's no clear indication about Antetokounmpo's future, there have been trade speculations once he asks out of Milwaukee and one team that is linked to the "Greek Freak" is the New York Knicks.

The Knicks have just finished a wonderful playoff run - 4-2 wins against Detroit Pistons (first round) and the Boston Celtics (semifinals) - to reach their first Eastern Conference finals in 25 years. However, they came up short against the Indiana Pacers and lost in six games (4-2 series defeat).

With a bright future ahead, some believe New York is one star player away from being actual title contenders. Veteran sportswriter Gery Woelfel revealed that the Knicks are rumored to make a "tsunami-type offer" to acquire the nine-time All-Star.

Additionally, Woelfel reported that the New York team is interested in hiring Jason Kidd to be their next head coach, after they fired Tom Thibodeau following the postseason elimination.

There could be a potential reunion with Antetokounmpo and Kidd. The current Dallas Mavericks coach was with the Bucks during the earlier parts of the nine-time All-NBA forward.

After fans saw the report, they started to speculate what the "tsunami-type offer" the Knicks could present to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo.

"They giving Milwaukee the Statue of Liberty," a fan suggested.

"Our team about to be Brunson Giannis + twitter users," another fan commented.

"I mean they gave up 5 firsts for Mikal what does a tsunami offer look like for Giannis?" one fan said.

Other fans aren't convinced the New York Knicks have enough to offer to the Milwaukee Bucks.

"Tsunami like what? 4 out of the 5 starters? because we have no draft capital," a fan commented.

"What do they even have . They traded 6 first rounders for bridges lmao..." a comment read.

"The Knicks have no good players why would the Bucks do this," another fan replied.
