“Before I get started, I don’t think New York will move McBride. I’m just making the rounds on the bench players and looking at the likelihood of a trade. Not including Mitchell Robinson or Josh Hart, whoever ends up being the starter between those two, McBride is New York’s best bench player.
“My guess is New York won’t worry about McBride and his next deal until after this season, which is why I wouldn’t put my money on him being dealt this season. But never say never. It would surprise, but not shock.
“The Knicks are trying to win a championship. Trading McBride to open up a roster spot for Shamet and Brogdon seems counterintuitive to that objective.” — James L. Edwards III
