  • XJ: The host refers to Miles McBride 'not getting paid' and predicts McBride will be the odd man out and will not stay a Knick. at 9:46
  • XJ: The lineup of Kolek, Miles McBride, Bridges, OG and Towns was 'humming' in this game. at 19:05
  • XJ: Miles McBride played 13 minutes even though Jose Alvarado was out of the game. Kolek got 15 minutes, more than McBride. at 28:39
  • XJ: The host says Miles McBride's minutes are being throttled. If he has to go 'supernova' from three to play more than 15 minutes, 'the writing's on the wall'. He argues many of the Knicks' best lineups, with or without Brunson, include McBride. at 29:03

• Podcast The Zach Lowe Show · 4 points · Oct 19
  • Zach Lowe: Zach described the Knicks' extension drama as a tabling of negotiations with Towns, Josh Hart, McBride and others. at 4:36
  • Fred, explicitly speculating: he could see McBride no longer being on the Knicks at the trade deadline. He framed it as a roster-building effect of the extension situation, not a vibes issue. at 16:35
  • Fred: McBride makes less than $4 million this year, which he called insane value for a sixth man. A McBride trade is hard to build because the Knicks can't take on more money. at 18:42
  • Zach Lowe: Zach: the Knicks could absorb losing McBride with Alvarado, Clarkson and possibly Kolek, whose long-term future with the team he called uncertain. He said they are overloaded with guards and that McBride is not make-or-break for a repeat. at 16:42

• Podcast Locked On Knicks · 6 points · 40 h ago
  • Gavin Schall: The host's view is that Shamet is not quite the shooter Miles McBride is, despite Shamet's playoff run. at 8:49
  • Gavin Schall: A five-shooter lineup played two to three minutes in the fourth quarter: Brunson, McBride, Shamet, Anunoby and Towns. The host says this unit played 11 possessions last regular season and 5 in the postseason. at 9:20
  • Gavin Schall: Mike Brown did not close the game with the five-shooter unit. He closed with McBride over Bridges, so Bridges was not guaranteed a closing spot, and he closed with Josh Hart. at 9:45
  • Gavin Schall: The host wants Brown to use shooting-heavy lineups as often as possible and calls the Brunson, McBride, Shamet, Anunoby, Towns unit unguardable if Brown leans into it. at 12:27
  • Gavin Schall: Miles McBride hit four threes down the stretch to keep the Knicks close. at 17:26
  • Gavin Schall: The host believes Derek White set a blatant, uncalled moving screen on McBride that freed Paul George for a late corner three. at 18:07

  • Gavin Schall: The host says Deuce McBride 'might get traded'. at 11:20
  • Gavin Schall: The host's opinion: the Knicks have to get a rim-running big this season, even if it means parting with Deuce McBride. at 28:54
  • Gavin Schall: In the third quarter McBride threw a bounce pass/turnover that the host says gave up a three in a game the Knicks lost by six. at 28:34

  “BREAKING: Dalton Knecht Is A Knick, Can He Help Them?” · listen ↗

• Podcast Locked On Knicks · 4 points · Oct 21
  • Gavin called Landry Shamet playing ahead of Miles McBride in the rotation probably the most significant Knicks-specific development from this game. at 25:43
  • XJ: Talking about Shamet and McBride, XJ said one of them has a four-year, $24 million contract that he called an absolute steal, and the other is a free agent next year. He did not say which player is which. He also asked whether the Knicks would pay McBride double what Shamet makes for maybe 20% more production, and answered that they probably will not. at 26:39
  • XJ: XJ thinks Miles McBride is the better player overall than Landry Shamet. He said Shamet has improved tremendously, especially his shooting. at 26:44
  • XJ: XJ predicts Miles McBride will be traded, probably for a center but possibly for a wing or another piece. He said the Knicks want to shore up the center spot even with James Wiseman, largely because of Towns' fouling. at 8:52

  “The Knicks Have One Concern Coming Out Of Ring Night” · listen ↗

  • Wiseman did not process a double team in time and had the ball stripped, even though Miles McBride had called the double out. at 8:33
  • On one defensive possession Wiseman stayed in a low stance with arms wide and slowed Kawhi Leonard, letting Miles McBride strip him from behind. The host says Wiseman has consistently shown this this preseason. at 10:14
  • Deuce McBride's line Miles McBride: 8 points on 2-of-7 shooting, 0-of-4 from three, 4-of-5 at the line, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 turnovers, a steal and a block. at 16:29
  • Despite modest stats, the host thought Miles McBride was perhaps the only Knick who looked like he belonged on the floor with the Raptors, with apologies to Wiseman. at 16:38
  • The Knicks ran a guard-to-guard screen with Alvarado as ball handler and Miles McBride short-rolling. The host had not seen much of this from Mike Brown and thinks it might be a new wrinkle in the playbook. at 16:57
  • Miles McBride handled midcourt blitzes well, including a skip pass to Alvarado. The host notes handling pressure has historically not always been a strength for him. at 17:21

• Podcast Locked On Knicks host · Analysis · Oct 13

  “A (Slightly) Concerning Night For The New York Knicks” at 24:03 · listen ↗

• Podcast Locked On Knicks · 11 points · Oct 12
  • Gavin Schall: Host opinion: Deuce McBride might be one of the 10 best shooters in the world. A contested shot-making stat points to top five, but the host hedges that this may be a stretch. at 2:50
  • Gavin Schall: Host recalls a 10-game stretch last season in which McBride shot 'like 46 of 84'. at 3:02
  • Gavin Schall: Host analysis: if Josh Hart is guarded the way he was in the playoffs, he has to be valued over McBride, because he played all-NBA-level defense for most of the playoffs. at 3:37
  • The hosts say McBride was not healthy during the Finals run and played through an injury most players would not play through. One host refers to a 'broken busted finger'. These are the hosts' words, not a medical report. at 4:04
  • XJ: Ages as stated by the hosts: Hart is 'pushing 32 years old' and McBride is 26. at 5:56
  • XJ: Host opinion: looking further ahead, he would probably lean toward keeping McBride, because of the value his shooting adds. at 7:00
  • Gavin Schall: Host analysis: McBride could be better in two years, but there is no world in which Hart is better in two years than he is now. at 28:52
  • Gavin Schall: Host analysis: Shamet is a different kind of shooter from McBride and does not provide the same deep spacing. at 30:26
  • XJ: Host prediction: McBride will be traded, and the host feels very strongly about this. The other host earlier doubted there would be another playoff run with McBride. at 30:55
  • Gavin Schall: Host analysis: concerns about McBride's lack of size have not shown up on the court. Specific matchups can exploit it, but the team can adjust in those matchups. at 31:24
  • Gavin Schall: Open question: maybe only the smartest teams really value McBride, so would those teams give the Knicks something of substance for him? at 31:58
