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.

Tyrese Haliburton #0 of the Indiana Pacers attempts a lay up against Miles McBride #2 and Mitchell Robinson #23 of the New York Knicks during the third quarter in Game Four of the Eastern Conference Finals of the 2025 NBA Playoffs at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on May 27, 2025 in Indianapolis, Indiana.

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.
