Miles McBride 'a little disappointed' but wants Knicks extension
The Knicks guard is entering the last year of his $13m deal after missing the August deadline, and Dolan's stance on the second apron is a key factor.
"Right now I'm a little disappointed. I want to be in New York. So yes, at times it's tough, but I will remain a professional. I played through injuries. I've been through a lot with this team. You know, I would really like to reach an agreement," McBride said.
He is entering the final year of a 3-year, $13m contract. McBride missed the August deadline to sign an extension, which also means he cannot be traded before the season starts.
The stance of the Knicks' owner, James Dolan, remains a key factor in the talks. Dolan has said publicly that the team does not intend to go over the second apron, the higher of the two luxury-tax thresholds.
If that line holds, this may mean the negotiations run into the season, and McBride plays out the final year of the deal without an extension.
