inside the knicks The logic behind the Knicks’ decision not to extend Miles McBride’s contract By Jared Schwartz Published Aug. 13, 2026, 8:47 a.m. ET Miles McBride averaged a career-high 26.3 minutes per game for the Knicks last season. JASON SZENES/ NY POST The lack of news on Tuesday was actually a bit of news in and of itself.
It served as a sort of soft deadline for the Knicks and Miles McBride on a potential contract extension.
That is because a player who signs a veteran extension after Aug. 11 can’t be traded for six months if their new deal exceeds specific thresholds — if it includes a first-year raise of 20 percent or more, a subsequent annual raise over 5 percent or runs for a total length of four or more years.
McBride and the Knicks, though, did not agree to any extension ahead of that deadline, The Post’s Stefan Bondy reported.
