The New York Knicks must confirm their roster by Saturday, with Landry Shamet, Malcolm Brogdon, and Garrison Mathews competing for the last available spot.
The team currently has 14 guaranteed contracts and can only retain one of them due to luxury tax constraints, with a current total of $207.8 million.
To resolve this issue, the Knicks may need to trade players like Miles McBride, Pâcome Dadiet, or Tyler Kolek to a team with sufficient salary cap space, such as the Utah Jazz or Brooklyn Nets.
The Knicks have recently held talks regarding Dadiet, although nothing has come to fruition.
As for McBride, the offer would have to be substantial to let him go, given his importance to the rotation and relatively low salary.
