Not saying Mcbride is as good as IQ is as a player.
But Mcbride is giving us the same thing IQ was giving us in the role we had IQ playing. IQ > Mcbride would be as the starting pg of the Raptors, but for the Knicks and the role we had IQ playing, Mcbride has been just as good.
And we gonna have Mcbride do this for like 4 mil a year the next 3 years as opposed to having to give IQ close to 100 mil.
Mcbride hopefully gonna get better too. Already a good defender and shows alot effort on that side. If he can improve his handles and play making by penetrating and passing a lil better, then hes gonna be the perfect backup pg.
