Overview

  • Multiple outlets, citing The Athletic’s James L. Edwards III, report Pacôme Dadiet as the Knicks’ most-mentioned trade candidate as they look to retain both veteran guards for the regular-season roster.
  • Brogdon and Shamet are on non‑guaranteed deals, and second‑apron restrictions leave New York needing to clear salary and a roster spot to carry them.
  • League contacts describe Dadiet’s market as modest, with a second‑round pick or similar return most likely, and New York expected to avoid taking a player back.
  • The 20-year-old wing, drafted 25th in 2024, appeared in 18 NBA games last season and averaged 1.7 points after showing athletic upside in the G League.
  • Reporting names the Jazz, Nets, Trail Blazers, and Heat as plausible low-cost suitors, with final decisions hinging on camp and preseason evaluations.
