Miles McBride could be one of the biggest roster questions for the New York Knicks as the defending NBA champions prepare for the 2026-27 season.
The Knicks reportedly spent much of the offseason discussing a potential contract extension with McBride, whose recent performance has surpassed the value of his current three-year, $13 million deal. However, New York’s tight financial situation has made it difficult to offer him a new contract.
The franchise is trying to remain below the NBA’s second salary apron, while potential future extensions for Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson could consume even more of the team’s available financial flexibility.
Could the Knicks trade Miles McBride?
Yes, it is a possibility. Although the team values his contributions, his contract and recent development could make him an attractive trade asset if New York needs to create financial room.
McBride remains on the Knicks’ current roster, according to NBA.com, but his long-term future in New York is increasingly uncertain.
