Knicks need to trade Dadiet to open roster spots for veterans
Summary

The New York Knicks face a roster challenge, needing to trade Pacôme Dadiet to create space for two veteran minimum signings. Currently, they have two open roster spots but cannot fill both due to salary cap restrictions. Dadiet's contract of $2.93 million is hindering this process, as it costs more against the cap than a standard veteran minimum contract. Preseason performance has not bolstered Dadiet's standing, as he struggled in recent games. This situation raises questions about his future with the team as they prepare for the upcoming season.
