Antetokounmpo + Kidd! The Knicks crazy poaching plan is exposed: Chasing big-name stars for the championship + new coach

On June 7, a series of crazy poaching plans for the New York Knicks were exposed. It is reported that the Knicks not only plan to poach the Mavericks coach Kidd, but also plan to pursue Antetokounmpo with a tsunami-level offer.

According to famous reporter Marc Stein, the Knicks is expected to apply in the next few days to discuss the vacant team coach position with Kidd. The Knicks' interest in Kidd is "serious".

Kidd and Brunson have worked with the Mavericks. They have a close relationship. Brunson is currently the top player of the Knicks. Brandon Robinson reported that league sources revealed that the Knicks contacted the Mavericks two days ago to request permission to interview Jason Kidd, and it will be up to Kidd to decide whether he is willing to accept the interview for the Knicks coaching position. Sources told me: Kidd has been thinking about whether he is willing to seize this coaching opportunity for several days.

Five years ago, when Kidd was an assistant coach for the Lakers, he was a candidate for the Knicks' head coach. Kidd gave up the opportunity and continued to serve as the Lakers' assistant coach.

NBA reporter Gery Woelfel reported that will Antetokounmpo and Kidd reunite in New York? The Knicks are applying for interviews with the Mavericks for the head coach; yesterday I learned that the Knicks planned to exchange Antetokounmpo for Antetokounmpo for a tsunami-style offer, Kidd once coached Antetokounmpo for the Bucks.

After Kidd ended his first season in his coaching career at the Nets in 2014, the Bucks sent two second round picks to the Nets, and the deal was obtained by head coach Kidd. Kidd coached Antetokounmpo from 2014 to 2018. During this period, Antetokounmpo became the absolute core of the Bucks and performed at the All-Star level. There is no doubt that Kidd is an important mentor on Antetokounmpo's growth path.

Regarding Antetokounmpo's trading rumors, the famous nick wright said: Maybe someone from Antetokounmpo's camp said that if someone is your mentor, maybe Antetokounmpo would ask to be traded to the Knicks.

Previously, US media listed the transaction plan for the Knicks to get Antetokounmpo for 5 for 1. The Knicks sent Towns, Taylor Colleck, the first round pick protected by the Wizards in 2026 and the first round swap rights in 2026 and 2030 to the Bucks, and finally got Antetokounmpo.

This season, the Knicks returned to the Eastern Conference Finals after 25 years, but unfortunately they were eliminated 4-2 by the Pacers. Due to the missed opportunity to attack the championship, the Knicks soon announced the firing of Thibodeau; the Knicks are currently trying to find a way to hire a new coach, and they also plan to sign big-name players. What kind of crazy actions will the Knicks make this summer? Let's wait and see.
