Many believe the New York Knicks’ search for a third big could lead them to ship out Deuce McBride. Not surprisingly, with owner James Dolan positively petrified of entering the second apron, we haven’t heard so much as a whisper about the team potentially extending him. The Knicks should avoid soon-to-be free agents if they’re trading Deuce McBrideSwapping McBride for another player approaching free agency won’t solve any of the Knicks’ longer-term complications. Just as it will be difficult to retain McBride and duck the second apron, the same logic applies to anyone they acquire. They’d be hard-pressed to keep Diabate and skirt the second apron even if Towns does his best impression of Jalen Brunson.
