The New York Knicks are making significant moves this offseason to enhance their roster, notably adding Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele to strengthen their bench. They have also parted ways with coach Tom Thibodeau, appointing Mike Brown as his successor. Alongside these immediate changes, the Knicks are eyeing the future, particularly the potential of signing Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo in 2027, should he leave Milwaukee.

NBA analyst Bill Simmons suggests that the Los Angeles Clippers could be emerging as the frontrunners for Giannis, given their strategic moves to clear salary cap space. With notable players like Kawhi Leonard and James Harden potentially exiting by 2027, the Clippers could position themselves to offer a lucrative deal for the star forward, which could complicate the Knicks' aspirations.
