The New York Knicks strategic decision to retain Landry Shamet has proven to be a game-changer. Shamets impactful performance and the teams Early Bird rights next summer, allowing a one hundred and five percent raise on his current salary, ensure the Knicks can keep a valuable player. This flexibility is crucial, as without it, the team could only offer a minimal raise, likely not enough to retain Shamet. The Knicks narrowly avoided losing this option when Shamet was waived due to injury but quickly re-signed him, securing their Early Bird rights. This seemingly small detail is a big deal, as Shamets reliability significantly impacts the teams performance, and having the ability to offer him a competitive contract allows the Knicks to retain a valuable asset for future seasons.
