Knicks Weigh McBride Trade Before Deadline | New York Knicks News

Knicks’ future hinges on McBride’s fate: a rising star with an expiring deal, he’s become too valuable to ignore — but the team’s cap woes and luxury tax fears could force a trade before the deadline. Once a second-round pick turned key contributor in their title run, McBride now demands a raise, while New York juggles big contracts like Brunson’s and seeks to avoid being a “second apron” team. With guards like Shamet and Alvarado already signed, his role as a backup might not justify the cost — making him a hot commodity for other teams who value his defense and shooting. The Knicks may have to let him go to upgrade elsewhere, even if they’d prefer to keep him. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
