"With one spot left on the roster, the Knicks have made three signings in quick succession, bringing in Malcolm Brogdon, Landry Shamet, and Garrison Mathews. All deals are non-guaranteed, meaning the three guards will have to compete in training camp for the final roster spot. The Knicks could also decide to keep two of the three signings, which would mean trading one of the younger players on a traditional contract, such as 2024 draft picks Tyler Kolek or Pacome Dadiet."
"Brogdon solves one of the roster's main weaknesses: lack of a backup primary ball-handling guard. Besides Cameron Payne, last season's team didn't have a playmaking guard off the bench, as Miles McBride was positioned more as a catch-and-shoot 2-guard. The former 2016-17 Rookie of the Year and 2023 Sixth Man of the Year award recipient has bounced between Boston, Portland, and Washington over the last three years, with issues stemming from injuries."
The Knicks added Malcolm Brogdon, Landry Shamet, and Garrison Mathews on non-guaranteed contracts to compete for the final roster spot in training camp. The team could keep two of the three signings and potentially trade a younger player on a traditional contract, such as 2024 draft picks Tyler Kolek or Pacome Dadiet. Malcolm Brogdon addresses the lack of a backup primary ball-handler and has recent injury concerns after bouncing between Boston, Portland, and Washington. Brogdon played a career-low 24 games last season with 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 4.1 assists. Landry Shamet averaged 5.7 points and 39.7% from three while providing playoff rotation shooting and defense, and he could fit well under new head coach Mike Brown.
