Malcolm Brogdon and Landry Shamet: Knicks Weigh Trade Decisions for Veteran Duo

The New York Knicks have signed Malcolm Brogdon and Landry Shamet to non-guaranteed contracts, creating a roster puzzle ahead of training camp. To keep both veterans on the regular season roster, the Knicks must trade a player on a traditional NBA deal to stay under the second apron. Trading players like Pacôme Dadiet or Miles McBride would provide sufficient cap space, while trading Tyler Kolek would leave the Knicks just $44,000 under the second apron, limiting future roster moves. Insider Ian Begley anticipates the Knicks will let training camp and preseason play out before making a move, but expects both Brogdon and Shamet to be on the roster given the team's win-now mentality and potential playoff aspirations.
