SNY: Sources: Knicks pick up 2026-27 rookie scale team option for Pacome Dadiet

From Robert Sanchez and Ian Begley:

The Knicks picked up the 2026-27 rookie scale team option on Pacome Dadiet, sources told SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley, before the team’s Oct. 31 decision deadline.

Dadiet, 20, was New York’s first-round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft (25th overall) out of France and played in 18 games for the Knicks during his rookie campaign, although he hasn’t seen the floor for New York yet this season.

In a limited role, the shooting guard averaged 1.7 points and 1.0 rebounds in 6.2 minutes per game. He shot 32.3 percent from the field and 31.6 percent from deep.

After getting drafted, Dadiet signed a four-year, $13 million deal — a standard rookie-scale contract. However, his 2024-25 salary was reduced by 20 percent to save the Knicks money under the salary cap.

Interesting move. I’m sure it’s some sort of salary cap thing more than necessarily a vote of confidence, but still interesting.

Eye test wise, I’ve noticed some sequences where a Knick was inside the paint and passed out to the three point line where I thought they shouldn’t. But that’s clearly what Brown wants.

Dodgers spent more money than any team in the offseason on relievers yet they don’t trust anybody in their bullpen in Game 7 of the World Series.

Wow. Glad I started watching baseball again this year. Turns out Ohtani was the 2nd best Japanese player on the Dodgers this whole time.

So true. I really only watched the other team when Ohtani was pitching to them this year. It took me all these extra world series innings to even learn the Blue Jays names.

Today’s quote about the Knicks that isn’t about the Knicks:

“That’s kind of what you give up when you speed the pace up,” Paolo Banchero said after the team’s 136-124 loss to the Sixers on Monday. “Teams are able to get out and run, and it causes cross-matches and miscommunications.”

FYI there is an unusually big dip in the secondary market for the games tonight and tomorrow. I just picked up a couple tickets for Monday night much cheaper than I would have expected. I was so surprised I had to double check after that I didn’t accidentally buy tickets in Washington.

“You know how I can tell it’s not about the Knicks? Because we’re 23rd in pace.”

Hmm — do we call that the Brunson Brakes effect?

Although Clarkson dribbles around in circles, so he’s not helping.

I think this is going to be a very telling game. They got spanked by a bunch of rotation players (some of whom are pretty good, but still) who had way more energy and more physicality than they did. Will they respond? For the full 48? If it was Thibs I’m sure there would be hellfire and brimstone — who knows with Brown…

Well I’m just gonna talk to myself then. Found a site that says Mitch will start again. So the usual suspects. Do I think Dadiet will get some run?

Nah, not unless we get a big lead…

I’ll keep you company, Raven. Slow night here in Z-ville….

Would love to see Dadiet get a couple of first half minutes.

Lol that commercial with Josh Hart of all people “shooting” gifts into Xmas stockings and making them all is completely fraudulent.

Thanks, Z-Man. Drinking a strange champagne cocktail in celebration of the Knicks getting back to 500.

It ain’t a single malt, but the damn clock thing means the sun’s not yet down over the yardarm here.

Here i am… let’s win this! 🙂

I’ve just arrived from a game of football/soccer that was a hard fought battle, but in the end we got the W. Now i want another one. 😉

Bridges giving the rest of the starters shit for not getting back on that fast break where he poked the ball out and there were three Bulls there for the rebound. Go Mikal!!

Where would this team be without Brunson?

I mean, I know his defense isn’t great, but half the time he’s the only dude who can score.

Decent quarter, assuming Brunson keeps it up; which means he’ll score 76 points tonight…

Clarkson for three!

He did something funny a few moments earlier. Deuce got stuck on Vuc in the post, was getting mauled trying to hold position, and Clarkson reached in and shoved Vuc so he fell out toward the three point line.

Deuce!

Clarkson!
