Miles McBride's Strong Preseason Play Sparks Trade Interest Amid Knicks Roster Decisions

Miles McBride showcased strong preseason form, scoring a team-high 12 points on seven shots in 21 minutes against the Sixers, adding three steals and five rebounds (two offensive) while hitting two of four three-point attempts. His confident play is crucial as the New York Knicks face roster decisions, potentially needing to trade a player like McBride to create salary cap room for veterans Landry Shamet and Malcolm Brogdon. Despite this, SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley believes the Knicks highly value the 25-year-old guard, who is in the second year of a three-year, $13 million extension, and have not been entertaining trade offers, even as multiple opposing teams express interest due to his production, age, and contract.
