Giannis Antetokounmpo has again put Milwaukee Bucks fans on edge.
Recent comments from the former MVP suggest that he could part ways with the team in the future if he doesn’t feel they have what it takes to win another championship.
Where will the superstar go if he does leave?
If he wishes to win another title, Plaxico Burress said on “The Carton Show” that he doesn’t think Antetokounmpo should move to the New York Knicks.
“New York is not the place for Giannis to win a World Championship,” Burress said adamantly.

A trade demand from Antetokounmpo would shake up the NBA in ways we haven’t seen in a very long time.
His wish to leave Milwaukee would immediately lead to nearly every team in the league trying to cobble together some sort of trade package to land the seven-time All-Star and two-time MVP.
Of course, he would have his eyes set only on the teams that could give him another championship ring.
People have repeatedly linked the Miami Heat and Knicks to Antetokounmpo.
As of now, both have a lot of cash to spend, talented cores, and big-city energy that could attract the Bucks icon.
Burress doesn’t think the Knicks would be able to deliver what Antetokounmpo ultimately wants, although he didn’t say why.
The team has certainly been getting better over the last couple of seasons and the addition of Jalen Brunson has made them a truly special squad in the East.
Antetokounmpo could be the missing piece they need to finally return to the NBA Finals.
For the time being, Antetokounmpo is still a member of the Bucks.
But if he does leave, no one should be surprised if he moves east to New York.
