Knicks propose trading Pacôme Dadiet to free up salary space

Summary

The New York Knicks are reportedly considering trading 21-year-old forward Pacôme Dadiet to adjust their payroll. Dadiet, selected in the first round of the 2024 draft, has struggled to secure a consistent role, averaging 1.7 points in 29 games last season. His $2.98 million salary occupies space that could be used for a veteran addition. Following the trade suggestion, the Knicks could gain approximately $6.26 million in salary cap space, allowing them to pursue two veteran contracts. No deal has been finalized, and potential trading partners include the Charlotte Hornets, Memphis Grizzlies, and Oklahoma City Thunder.
