why do they need to wait and see if the knicks lose this series? it makes no sense. why would the knicks trade for giannis and break up a special team that is clearly good enough to win the title?
it's the middle of the finals and attention is correctly elsewhere, but if giannis gets traded to miami with no third team involved it will mark one of the most egregious years from a front office that i can remember.
i wrote about jalen brunson’s nba finals, incredible and inefficient shooting, defensive woes, and a performance in game 3 that carried/sunk new york’s chance to take a 3-0 series lead: www.theringer.com/2026/06/09/n...
maybe the bucks land a haul out of nowhere, but right now it's on track to be a generational fumble. predictably so!

“we were about as stagnant as I’ve seen us all year," mike brown said after game 3. "we just wanted to stand and watch one guy dribble a ton."
brunson was that guy—essential and erratic. i wrote about his finals, and where they go from here: www.theringer.com/2026/06/09/n...
