Knicks Explore Pacôme Dadiet Trade to Clear Space for Brogdon, Shamet

Second-apron limits are driving New York toward a roster decision before the Oct. 20 deadline.

Overview

  • Jake Fischer reports the Knicks have called several teams to gauge interest in Dadiet as they weigh roster options.
  • The goal is to open a spot and create flexibility to keep both Malcolm Brogdon and Landry Shamet under hard-cap constraints.
  • Dadiet logged 23 preseason minutes across two Abu Dhabi exhibitions, with rival execs believing New York is showcasing him.
  • The 2024 first-rounder appeared in 18 NBA games last season, averaging 1.7 points, and posted 14.9 points per game in 14 G League outings.
  • Analysts caution that moving a 20-year-old on a low-cost deal could be a risky value play as the roster deadline approaches.
