Knicks Considering Trade for Pacome Dadiet Amid Roster Decisions

The New York Knicks are actively considering a trade involving forward Pacome Dadiet as they work to finalize their roster while remaining under the second tax apron. This situation arises as the team seeks to defend its championship title.

According to reports, the Knicks are weighing their options regarding their roster, which currently includes 13 players on guaranteed contracts. They are contemplating retaining both James Wiseman and Bruce Brown, but doing so without making a trade could exceed their payroll limits, a scenario owner James Dolan has indicated they want to avoid.

Dadiet, who was selected 25th overall in the 2024 draft, has yet to receive significant playing time, making a potential trade a difficult decision for the team. The Knicks are also planning to waive players Tony Bradley, Ochai Agbaji, and injured center Drew Eubanks, which could impact the competition for roster spots. With roster decisions due soon, the Knicks have limited time to determine their next steps.
