Knicks opt not to extend Miles McBride ahead of trade deadline

Summary

The New York Knicks will not finalize a contract extension for guard Miles McBride, as reported on August 11, 2026. This decision allows McBride to remain trade-eligible ahead of the season. The team's front office prioritizes roster flexibility, needing a third center with current players under contract. McBride's potential trade value is bolstered by his friendly $4 million salary. Although extension talks may continue, missing the soft deadline preserves the Knicks' options moving forward.
