Knicks Explore Pacôme Dadiet Trade to Keep Brogdon and Shamet

A second‑apron hard cap leaves New York likely needing to move Dadiet’s $2.8 million before the Oct. 22 guarantee date to retain two veteran guards.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - APRIL 14: Jalen Brunson #11 of the New York Knicks is congratulated by teammate Miles McBride #2 after Brunson scored his 31st point and tied the franchise record with most 30 point games in a single season during the second half at Madison Square Garden on April 14, 2024 in New York City. The New York Knicks defeated the Chicago Bulls 120-119 in OT.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets, citing Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, report the Knicks have called teams to gauge interest in trading their 2024 first‑round pick.
  • Rival executives viewed Dadiet’s preseason start in Abu Dhabi as a potential showcase for the 20‑year‑old wing.
  • New York is hard‑capped at the second apron after using the taxpayer midlevel, with roughly $3.7 million of breathing room.
  • A Dadiet deal would free a roster spot and about $2.8 million in salary, and suitors are expected to seek a second‑round pick to absorb his contract.
  • Coach Mike Brown praised Dadiet’s defensive upside, as Malcolm Brogdon, Landry Shamet, and Garrison Mathews vie for limited non‑guaranteed roster slots ahead of decisions later this month.
