After Malcolm Brogdon's surprise retirement, the New York Knicks didn't trade Pacôme Dadiet after all before setting their final roster, at least not yet. To keep Brogdon and Landry Shamet, the Knicks would've had to create an open roster spot, hence the Dadiet rumors. Instead, New York kept Shamet and signed rookie Mohamed Diawara to a one-year deal.
Does that mean Dadiet is safe in New York. Not exactly. He started in the Knicks' preseason-opener against the Sixers in Abu Dhabi, which was interpreted as New York showcasing him for a potential trade, but also, OG Anunoby was out.
