Knicks Agree One-Year Deal Re-Signing Landry Shamet

Landry Shamet has agreed to a one-year deal to return to the New York Knicks for the 2025-26 NBA season, marking his eighth NBA year. Despite interest from other teams, Shamet chose to rejoin the Knicks due to the camaraderie and championship aspirations within the locker room. Financially, the Knicks are limited by the second tax apron cap, allowing only one veteran and one rookie on minimum contracts, with Shamet fitting into the veteran minimum slot and counting around $2.3 million against the cap. Shamet, known for his reliable three-point shooting, played 50 games last season with the Knicks, averaging 5.7 points and shooting nearly 40% from beyond the arc. The Knicks' roster is expected to be completed by signing a rookie to a minimum contract, with Mohamed Diawara, a versatile 6’9” defender compared to OG Anunoby, being the likely candidate. This move gives new head coach Mike Brown more lineup flexibility with a strong, versatile rotation supporting stars like Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.
