Knicks signing Landry Shamet to one-year deal as guard depth gets latest boost
NY Post
The Knicks added a veteran shooter roughly two weeks before training camp.
Landry Shamet, a 27-year-old combo guard, agreed to a one-year deal with the team, a source confirmed Saturday.
Before the signing, the Knicks had one roster spot open with 14 guaranteed contracts (they can hold up to 15 players in the regular season).
Though it’s unclear if Shamet’s one-year deal is guaranteed, the expectation is he’ll be on the final roster after choosing the Knicks over two other suitors, a source told The Post.
The Knicks, according to multiple sources, are still exploring ways to address the center position after losing Isaiah Hartenstein to the Thunder.
The free-agent market has dried up at that position, so it’s more likely the Knicks try to find a solution via trade.

There will be enough time to obsess over the things the Knicks don’t have, and why they don’t do well. Bank on that. There will be acres of space and hours of conversation devoted to the vast chasm between where the Knicks are and where they want to be — and, perhaps more tellingly, where they were expected to be. That’s coming, don’t worry.

If you think that winning two playoff series with John Tortorella behind the bench over the 12 years after he left Broadway in 2013 looks good on his résumé and is worth the angst that always accompanies one of his administrations, be my guest and by all means hire this coach who essentially fired himself again last week in Philadelphia.
