Knicks Weigh Trades to Keep Brogdon and Shamet Under Second-Apron Cap

The second‑apron cap forces a choice that tests New York’s commitment to veteran depth over developing guards.

Overview

  • The Knicks want Malcolm Brogdon and Landry Shamet on the opening-night roster, though both are on non‑guaranteed training‑camp deals.
  • New York is hard‑capped near $207.8 million, leaving space for only one veteran minimum contract without shedding salary.
  • Miles McBride, Pacôme Dadiet and Tyler Kolek are cited by reporters as realistic trade candidates, with the most buzz around McBride and Dadiet.
  • The team could let camp and preseason play out before moving, and no trade has been announced with training camp set to open Sept. 24.
  • With Mike Brown taking over and veterans Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele added, Jalen Brunson warns against complacency after last season’s conference finals run.
