Overview

• New York has begun calling teams on Pacôme Dadiet, according to Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.
• Dadiet’s $2.8 million salary is viewed as the clearest path to creating room to retain both Malcolm Brogdon and Landry Shamet on camp deals.
• Rival executives believe the Knicks used Abu Dhabi preseason minutes to showcase Dadiet, who started once and saw limited production.
• Sharpshooter Garrison Mathews has pushed into the roster conversation with efficient preseason shooting, challenging Shamet for a specialist role.
• Teams are expected to seek draft compensation to take on Dadiet’s contract, with a decision needed before later-October guarantee deadlines.
