'Odd man out' Knicks guard likeliest to be traded this year, insider claims
'Odd man out' Knicks guard likeliest to be traded this year, insider claims originally appeared on The Sporting News A veteran New York Knicks guard could be the likeliest piece to be dealt away this season, an insider claims. That's not necessarily due to any sourced intel, more just a reasonable inference based on the Knicks' current roster after a summer of subtly crafty team-building around the periphery. New York advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in a quarter century last spring, then canned head coach Tom Thibodeau as a reward in the offseason. Still, the team brought in two-time Coach of the Year Mike Brown to spruce up the Knicks' offense, and signed free agent vets Guerschon Yabusele and Jordan Clarkson to fill out the team's bench. New York also will be the beneficiary of some unfortunate health news for the Indiana Pacers, Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks, all of whom lost an All-Star to an Achilles tendon tear during last year's playoffs. The Bucks opted to stretch-and-waive theirs, Damian Lillard, and bring in a decided non-All-Star, Myles Turner, with the cap space it earn from ditching him. MORE NEWS:Karl-Anthony Towns shares importance of Carmelo Anthony in his first Knicks season The Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers have now, sort of by default, emerged as the class of the conference. Some recent trades from the Orlando Magic and Atlanta Hawks seem to have put those two teams just below New York and Cleveland near the top of the East. One roster-tweaking mechanism for the Knicks could be a trade. Sam Amico of HoopsWire posits that one incumbent player could now be expendable, thanks to a fresh free agent signing. "For the Knicks, Miles McBride is a good player who sometimes can be the odd man out in a minutes crunch," Amico writes. "That probably won't improve after Jordan Clarkson signed on. That makes McBride the name to watch here." The 6-foot-1 combo guard out of the University of West Virginia has been with the Knicks since his 2021-22 rookie season. Last year, he averaged a career-most 9.5 points on .406/.369/.813 shooting splits, 2.9 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 24.9 minutes per. Clarkson can be thrive both on and off the ball, and might indeed effectively supplant McBride this season. MORE NEWS:Knicks matchup with fellow Eastern Conference rival deemed a top 10 game to watch

Barcelona star left in limbo as he waits to discover if Catalan club will look to sell him before summer transfer deadline
Pena's future is uncertain due to a transfer logjam His departure depends on Szczesny Pena may be forced to wait until the end of the transfer window Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Pena is in a state of uncertainty as he awaits a decision on his future ahead of the transfer deadline. According to a report from Football Espana, the Spaniard's potential departure is contingent on the club's ability to officially register Wojciech Szczesny as a La Liga player, with missing paperwork causing a final blockage. The situation is complicated by the recent arrival of Joan Garcia as the new first-choice goalkeeper. THE BIGGER PICTURE Pena's desire to leave Barcelona stems from his demotion in the pecking order. He was dropped by Hansi Flick in favour of Szczesny earlier in 2025, and the subsequent signing of Joan Garcia has further reduced his chances of playing time. While Marc-Andre ter Stegen has resolved his issue with the club over releasing his medical reports, which allowed Garcia to be registered, he remains ahead of Pena in the long-term plans once he returns from injury. Pena has received two offers from Turkish clubs, and Italian side Como, managed by Cesc Fabregas, have also shown interest. However, delays from Barcelona have reportedly led Como to consider other options. DID YOU KNOW? Pena had a brief loan spell at Galatasaray in 2022, where he famously impressed in a Europa League last-16 tie against his parent club, Barcelona. WHAT NEXT FOR INAKI PENA? Pena's immediate future hinges on the finalising of Szczesny's registration. If the Polish goalkeeper is registered, Pena will likely be granted permission to leave before the transfer window closes on September 1. He may need to wait until the final days to secure a move away from the club. Until then, he will remain with the squad and could feature on the bench, as he did in Barcelona's opening-day victory at Mallorca.

Leeds United continued discussions with Noah Okafor over the weekend, talks expected to continue this week
Leeds United opened talks with AC Milan attacker Noah Okafor last week and discussions continued between both parties over the weekend, according to journalist and transfer insider Ben Jacobs. Leeds want one more attacking addition as manager Daniel Farke looks to keep the Elland Road club up following promotion. The Switzerland international is a serious transfer target for the Whites, and talks are expected to continue between Leeds and his camp this week. They have yet to reach an agreement with Milan, but that is unlikely to be an issue as Okafor is not in their plans. The 25-year-old Leeds target spent the second half of last season on loan with Napoli, winning the Serie A title with them. An option of a permanent transfer was included in the deal but Napoli opted against activating it as manager Antonio Conte played him just four times. The Whites are now looking to bring him to the Premier League as they prepare for life back in the top-flight, and it appears he is open to the move. Okafor has nothing else to prove in the Italian top-flight having won the title after two seasons, and moving to England has always appealed to plenty of professional footballers. He will fancy his chances of playing regularly at Leeds given his versatility, quality and experience. Farke is convinced that the Swiss has what it takes to improve his attack. The West Yorkshire club kicks off their campaign tonight when they host Everton in their opening Premier League game of 2025-26, and they will be desperate to begin the season with a win. Leeds have bolstered their attack with the additions of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha so far this summer. They need more quality options in the final third to boost their survival chances, and signing Okafor will come in handy.
