Mike Brown's Final Decision
The New York Knicks must confirm their roster by Saturday, with Landry Shamet, Malcolm Brogdon, and Garrison Mathews competing for the last available spot.
The team currently has 14 guaranteed contracts and can only retain one of them, due to the luxury tax threshold of $207.8 million.
- Landry Shamet
- Malcolm Brogdon
- Garrison Mathews
To avoid exceeding the luxury tax, the Knicks could trade players like Miles McBride, Pâcome Dadiet, or Tyler Kolek to teams with sufficient salary cap space, such as the Utah Jazz or Brooklyn Nets.
The only viable solution would be to trade three of their players.
The Knicks have held talks regarding Dadiet, but nothing has been finalized. McBride is considered a key rotation player on a relatively low salary, making it unlikely he will be traded unless the offer is substantial.
