There are numerous terrible and inefficient moves the New York Knicks might make this offseason, but President Leon Rose has been wise in his decisions and risk-averse in many ways. Some have suggested trading for a player like Lauri Markkanen or looking into dismantling the Phoenix Suns’ core three.
Miles McBride, Knicks guard, is worth However, the Knicks would have to give up a lot of money to do so, and one player they should not move this offseason is promising guard Miles McBride. McBride made considerable progress on both sides of the ball after signing an exceedingly favourable three-year contract last offseason. McBride’s salary will be $4.7 million for the 2024-25 season, and it will only decrease until his final season in 2026-27.
Good teams have a few inexpensive players who produce at a high level, and McBride is only improving. This past season, the 23-year-old Ohio native averaged 8.3 points and 1.7 assists while shooting.452 from the field and.410 from three. McBride’s deep-range shooting improved dramatically, and he made a huge contribution during the playoffs when the Knicks needed him to step up. Over 13 playoff games, McBride averaged 11 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.9 assists while shooting.435 from the field and.368 from deep. Considering he only started two games and played an average of 26.7 minutes, McBride’s influence was substantial, and his defensive importance was evident time and again.
Unless the Knicks are presented with an irresistible offer and McBride must be included, his name should be off the table for the most part. If he continues to improve and take the correct steps, he might be one of the most valued players on the roster, given his price tag.
