The New York Knicks have received trade calls on guard Miles McBride, according to NBA insider Ian Begley of SNY.
McBride has a team option on his contract that must be decided on by June 29.
“The Knicks have received calls on guard Miles McBride, whom they certainly value,” Begley wrote. “Head coach Tom Thibodeau has always spoken glowingly about McBride when reporters ask a question about him. But McBride hasn’t gotten regular time in the Knick rotation to date due to a logjam at his position.
“So teams are wondering if they can acquire McBride, the Knicks’ 2021 second-round pick, via trade. McBride has a team option on his contract that must be decided on by June 29. If the Knicks don’t trade McBride before June 29, you can be sure that they will pick up that option.”
McBride appeared in 64 games for the Knicks this past season. He averaged 3.5 points and 1.1 assists while shooting 35.8% from the field, 29.9% from beyond the arc and 66.7% from the free-throw line. The West Virginia product is known more for his defense.
