If and when the New York Knicks make a trade to increase their flexibility ahead of the regular season, it is not going to include Deuce McBride.
In his latest dispatch over at SNY, insider Ian Begley writes that he would be “surprised” if the 25-year-old gets moved to drum up the team’s breathing room beneath the second apron. He adds that “key stakeholders” inside the organization view McBride as essential, and that interest from “opposing teams” is actually what’s fueling his entry into the rumor mill.
Nobody should need to hear it, but this isn’t just the right stance by New York.
