Hours after trading Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett to the Raptors, the Knicks confirm they have a lot of faith in Miles McBride since they just offered him a three-year, $13 million contract. Not bad for a player averaging 1.9 points this season…
With Immanuel Quickley gone, Miles McBride is gaining ground in the rotation, as Jalen Brunson's first understudy. The 36th choice of the 2021 Draft will compete with Malachi Flynn, who arrives from Toronto.
Immanuel Quickley leaves a big void
According to New York Post, the contract is guaranteed over the next three seasons, with a decreasing annual salary. A good defender, Miles McBride proved last night, against the Pacers, that he could also let loose in attack with 18 points.
To be confirmed over time because the departure of Immanuel Quickley leaves a big void in the “second unit” since the new Raptors leader brought 15 points coming off the bench.
