US EditionReports: Knicks Bring Back G Landry Shamet on 1-Year Deal
Landry Shamet accepted a one-year contract to provide veteran depth and three-point shooting after Ben Simmons declined to join the Knicks, who aim to compete for an NBA title.
- The Knicks finalized their veteran spot Thursday by re-signing Landry Shamet to a one-year contract, ESPN's Shams Charania reported, using New York's final veteran minimum slot under the second tax apron.
- After talks around Ben Simmons failed to yield an offer, the Knicks explored Simmons but never made one and Shamet prioritized returning to a locker room he liked to help New York compete for a title.
- Financially, Landry Shamet's one-year, non-guaranteed deal pays $3,080,921 in 2025/26 with a $2,296,274 cap charge; he'll compete with Garrison Mathews for the final roster spot after averaging 12.2 points and shooting 49% from deep last year.
- With Shamet back, the roster is essentially finalized; training camp starts in approximately two weeks, the Abu Dhabi preseason opener is Oct. 2, and the regular season begins Oct. 22 at Madison Square Garden.
- Shamet's return adds spacing and playoff-proven depth to a title-focused roster; under Mike Brown, New York head coach, his precise role is unclear but he could provide useful scoring and defense spurts.
