The New York Knicks are interested in Walker Kessler, per SNY’s Ian Begley. Kessler has been on team’s minds since the beginning of this offseason.

With New York losing Isaiah Hartenstein, there has been a feeling that they need to get another center to complement Jericho Sims and Mitchell Robinson.

While the Utah Jazz aren’t in love with Kessler anymore, seeing how he is now on their Summer League team and losing playing time last season, they still have a price tag for him. The price? A first-round pick.

New York does not have first-round picks, as they used them all to get Mikal Bridges, but they do have protected ones that aren’t projected to be as valuable as possible in trades.

Kessler, who is 22 years old, is making $2.9 million this season – a manageable amount to try to trade for a piece like them.

According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks and Shams Charania, the New York Knicks are waiving Landry Shamet after he suffered a dislocated right shoulder.

The 27-year-old agreed to a non-guaranteed Exhibit 9 contract earlier in the offseason; many within the organization expected him to make the roster and have quality minutes. However, this injury has derailed those plans.

New York has three roster spots available; they must sign two players to meet the required 14-player roster.

When Shamet gets healthy, they will consider bringing him back.

According to Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes, the New York Knicks will have to adjust plans after learning of Landry Shamet’s newest injury.

New York’s PR team confirmed the injury to the 27-year-old.

Shamet, who was expected to make the roster, has suffered a dislocated right shoulder injury and will be out indefinitely.

The Knicks hope he doesn’t require surgery, but Shamet is still being evaluated. SNY’s Ian Begley reported this piece of information.

Currently, Shamet is working on an Exhibit 9 contract. An Exhibit 9 contract is an invitation to training camp.

Landry Shamet Expected To Make The Knicks Roster

According to The Athletic’s Fred Katz, the New York Knicks will most likely keep Landry Shamet on their roster after having him go through a roster battle with other players.

Since New York is up against the hard cap, they’ll only be able to get Shamet and a rookie on a minimum salary on their roster.

“I don’t make the final decision on that, but I’m basing it on what [Shamet’s] done on the floor. He’s really done well,” Thibodeau said.

Tom Thibodeau loved what he saw from Shamet and wants him on the roster. An official decision should be made soon.
