Landry Shamet returns to New York on a minimum-salary pact, slotting in as a seasoned 3-and-D wing for a Knicks squad aiming for a title. The deal completes a lean, versatile rotation built to maximize two-way depth with the starting core of Brunson and Towns anchoring the attack.

Around that core, Bridges, Anunoby and Hart form a formidable wing trio, while Robinson provides rim protection and McBride, Clarkson, Yabusele and Hukporti round out the second unit with shooting, defense and upside. The Knicks maintain roster flexibility to chase another veteran via trade if needed.

The move signals a deliberate, high-floor gambit: add playoff-tested shooting and defense without sacrificing a future roster path, keeping development options open for Dadiet, Kolek and Hukporti as growth pieces behind the depth chart.

The Brooklyn Nets faced another tough loss in the Las Vegas Summer League, falling 97-93 to the New York Knicks. This defeat left them winless through three games, diminishing their hopes for playoff contention. Despite the loss, Drew Timme showcased his skills, contributing 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Caleb Daniels impressed with 16 points and 9 rebounds in his starting debut.

The Nets struggled defensively against the Knicks, particularly against Tyler Kolek and MarJon Beauchamp, who both scored 25 points. Brooklyn's inability to contain these players was a significant factor in the game. The team's performance featured a mix of promising individual efforts and disappointing overall execution.
