We finally know who will round out the New York Knicks’ roster to start the regular season: Landry Shamet, Mohamed Diawara, and…that’s it.
After weeks of it seeming as if the Knicks would trade Pacome Dadiet to make way for two veterans and Diawara, the organization is pivoting. Whether that is by choice or force is debatable.
Malcolm Brogdon's retirement threw a wrench into New York’s two-veteran plans. He was considered one of the players guaranteed a spot on the roster. Calling it quits ensured that Dadiet wouldn’t be going anywhere, at least to start the season, unless the Knicks wanted to retain both Shamet and Garrison Mathews.
