Whether he meant to or not, Mike Brown just sent a pretty loud message about Pacome Dadiet’s future with the New York Knicks: He probably doesn’t have one.
The 20-year-old’s roster spot is safe following the surprise retirement of Malcolm Brogdon, and the news from SNY’s Ian Begley that Garrison Mathews will be waived. This positions the Knicks to sign Landry Shameet and rookie Mohamed Diawara, and then keep Dadiet on the docket.
For now.
If the end of preseason is any indication, Dadiet’s spot on the team is only temporary. Brown wanted the final exhibition game to be a dress rehearsal for the regular season.
