From the moment the Knicks signed Landry Shamet and Malcolm Brogdon, it was clear that another decision was going to arrive. The knicks are hard in the second apron and cannot keep the two guards without exchanging someone else to create a cap room.
This person can be Pacome Diet, reports Jake Fischer on the Stein line.
“The emphasis on this business has been on the former Choice of first Tour Pacome Diet since the Knicks signed the two veterans to present 9 contracts. Sources indicate to the Stein line that Knicks, in fact, has indeed already called several teams to assess the interest for Diet. ”
Diett was a choice of first round of the Knicks a year ago, a development project on the wing which appeared in just 18 games for New York. Diett showed flashes when the Knicks opened at Las Vegas Summer League, marking 17 points, but he only played in a few games and had a problem of the feet.
Diett is expected to win $ 2.8 million this season, and the Knicks have not yet taken the team’s options over the next two years. There are teams ready to take a leaflet on Diet at this price, but they will likely tighten the Knicks for a second round choice because they assume the salary.
If the Knicks cannot find a business for Dadiet or another player, they will have to leave one of the Brogdon or Shamet before the start of the season.
