So what is the plan? They are keeping Shamet close for a reason. There's another move here somewhere.

The plan is to switch Ryan to a two way and sign Landry to the prorated vet min when he's healthy.

Did Ryan sign a non-guaranteed contract?

Not necessary. Knicks can resign Shamet on a prorated contract in February and have enough room under the second apron. He would be the 15th man.

Without any moves the final active roster would look like this:

C Towns/ Robinson/ Hukporti
PF Anunoby/ Achiuwa/ Sims
SF Hart/ Ryan/ Dadiet
SG Bridges/ McBride/ Shamet
PG Brunson/ Payne/ Kolek

This aligns with K Smith comment where if Knicks wait until mid-feb the prorated vet min contract drops just below our available apron $ and allow a Shamet signing for 15th spot....in addition to Huck/Ryan.

Same for me - like it.

Last year 45% and career 41% (on limited opportunities) is nothing to sneeze at and (like Shamet) I really like the value of guys that move off the ball (understand how to slide to proper spots off penetration and have quick release catch/shoot ability).

Thing I think is still clearly lacking is some type of dynamic ball-handler, shot opportunity creator outside of Brunson.

Have to assume they will target that by trade deadline --- someone in the Clarkson (or better) mold.

It's still possible if for example we surround Payne with say Deuce/Ryan/Mikal he can provide some shot creation we need but not sure I'd bet on that.
