As they have been in recent years, the Knicks have once again been linked to one of the leagues biggest stars, as ESPN's Brian Windhorst has revealed that New York have 97% of their attention on Miami, while the other 3% is keeping an eye on Giannis Antetokounmpo and his potential availability from Milwaukee after a disappointing end to their season.
