Good for the Knicks tbh. However wonder if Shamet walks now.

I think the chances of resigning Shamet were pretty much 0 even before this, despite his best effort to lower his value during the finals.

Terrajon26 | Knicks

My only thing is Mitch cant play starter minutes and the medical team had to set up a whole thing to keep him healthy for the whole season. Not sure how many teams wanna invest that much in a back up big and pay him over 15 mill a year.

I really doubt his body can hold up playing 30 min+ a night as a starter, though some team will overpay him so might as well get the bag. Knicks will miss him, he was the perfect backup big for towns or to play alongside him to protect the rim.

TJ_IRL_

Mitch about to go to Detroit or Lakers I think. Or maybe to the Blazers if someone takes RWIII from them. The Blazers funny enough, due to Rob’s injuries, are used to nursing a center throughout the season.

Sassmaster008

I don’t know how you pay him knowing you can’t play him in high leverage situations because the other team can just send him to the foul line. Combine the injury history and the poor free throw shooting and I don’t see how you can pay for him. Knowing this, he only needs to convince one GM to do it, somebody will pay.

thirdaccount2727 | Knicks

Too many max contracts coming up, they wouldn’t go higher than the Knicks. However, I could totally see LAL overpaying for him.

SeaworthinessSome454

5 | 13 hours ago

I don’t think a team is going to value him more than the Knicks. He can’t play starter minutes and this season was as healthy as he’s been in years and he only played in 60 games. You can’t rely on him to be your starter. He’s an amazing bench piece to play burst minutes and terrorize the other teams but that’s a luxury and the teams that are far enough along in roster building don’t have an avenue to sign him to a contract that wouldn’t make sense for the Knicks to match.

Shamets a different story but I can’t think that a team is going to risk giving him more than 2 years. He’s been a bad player for a number of years before this one and even then, he was inconsistent and injured. His value is low enough that he’s probably getable for the tax payer MLE and he’s a theoretical fit on virtually every team so I think the chances of him leaving are higher than Mitch. But the taxpayer MLE maxes out at 2 years. Would the Knicks really let him walk away for ~8M/year for 2 years? Dolans been a bad owner forever but he’s never been cheap.

IMO, all the Knicks free agents are flawed enough that no team comes knocking with an offer the Knicks wouldn’t match and with how well utilized those players all were, I think the players would prefer to stay. In shamets case, he can sign for 1 year plus a player option at ~8M/year. If he plays well again next year then there will be a team willing to give him the full MLE for 3 or 4 years come next offseason.

Saucy_Totchie | Knicks

13 | 19 hours ago

Have no idea how any team can appropriately value Mitch lol. He’s absolutely won the Knicks multiple playoff series and was instrumental for the championship. However he’s so incredibly limited in some key areas. How much do you pay an elite interior presence but can’t do anything farther than arm’s length away from the basket and needs a significant load management plan?

Mets_BS | Knicks

7 | 18 hours ago

Won us series? That feels overstated. Look, I love Mitch, but he is damn near unplayable at long stretches of games. He was used right to impact games, that’s a testament to Mike Browns game management. What we saw this year was about the max he’ll contribute as a player.

Saucy_Totchie | Knicks

12 | 18 hours ago

He was huge in the 2023 series against Cavs. When he played against the Sixers in 2024 he played good defense on Embiid. He was big in the Finals defending Wembanyama.

Think-Nerve-5065

14 | 18 hours ago

Yeah I don’t really see the Finals hurting his value much. You’re not signing Shamet to beat the best teams in the league, you’re signing him to be a great backup point guard, lead by example and bring some championship pedigree. Over and over again throughout the season, different Knicks players would mention his work ethic, attention to detail, stuff you don’t hear about a lot of roleplayers. Gms notice that. I could see a team like Detroit giving him a nice contract, they could definitely use some veteran presence and ballhandling.

JimC29 | NBA

4 | 17 hours ago

Detroit was who I was thinking is the perfect fit for him. They really need shooting, plus he now has championship experience.

smalls_1804 | Knicks

3 | 5 hours ago

I’m not so sure about that. There’s something to be said for the Knicks giving him chance after chance, especially with his double shoulder injury, and also he might not want to leave the first team where he’s found success basically in his entire career.

Not sure if this is correct or feasible, but here’s what Jonathan Macri is saying on Twitter:

“So all signs point to Mo’s deal being a non-bird rights contract as opposed to the taxpayer MLE, which is MASSIVE because the latter would cap the Knicks at the second apron this year, which means bye bye Mitch and probably Shamet

This contract makes it possible to exceed the 2A”

mylanguage | Knicks

18 | 18 hours ago

I’m being a homer but Shamet has struggled to find a home in the league and the Knicks stuck by him when he injured his shoulder a couple years ago trying to make the team in preseason.

I do wonder if we get a team friendly return even if just for next season.

He had a ridiculous line for a meet and greet yesterday, he’s a cult hero.

3pointshoot3r

12 | 17 hours ago

Knicks stuck by him when he injured his shoulder a couple years ago trying to make the team in preseason.

This is overly generous. They were able to stash him in the G league until they had cap space to sign him to a minimum deal because there was zero other interest in him.

7.5 3PA per 36 at 37%

3 assists per 36 as an off-ball wing who almost never had a play called for him

I am insanely high on him, he flashed so much in terms of ball handling, shooting, footwork, passing, defending the point of attack and one on one defense. Needs to work on his finishing by but if he continues along the glimpses he showed, he is more than just a future role player.

Dadiet hasn’t gotten meaningful play outside of garbage time lol.

just saying that he let it fly when he’s out there and still hit his shots. He would not average 7.5 3PA at 37% per 36 on a larger sample, if he did he would’ve gotten a hell of a lot more money. But it’s an encouraging sign nonetheless

This was a quiet must do for the Knicks this offseason

6’9”, 7’4” wingspan, athletic, active defender who already showed nice improvement with his shot (biggest pre draft concern). I was really hoping no other team would catch on and give him 6ish a year which I think he’ll easily earn on this deal.

I’m not really concerned about losing Alvarado/Shamet as much as I love them. Kolek and Mo are ready for bigger roles and Deuce should be better than he was down the stretch. Hoping they can finagle Mitch or at least a decent replacement though because he’s the hard guy to replace.

This is so meaningless to anyone other than Knicks fans.

But I assure you Knicks fans were very worried one of you other teams would throw a bag at this raw OG talent

Shams has been waiting literally years to post the Giannis trade, imagine he gets scooped because he’s too busy giving us this bomb instead

Sick! Mamdani’s favorite role player haha. Glad to see they recognized the tantalizing potential we all saw last season and locked him up.

Not all the details are in, but this could be very good news for the Knicks. He can shoot and could be locked up for years on a very team friendly deal that rivals the best bargains in the league, Knicks are lucky someone didn’t offer him a little more than the Knicks could afford.

He had impressive flashes during the regular season. He’ll need to stronger and tighten handles a bit and I think he can be a real contributor. He’s like Tim Thomas.

he’s nothing like TT, MO can actually defend all over the court. He’s really Siakam type, question is whether he reaches it or not.

Super happy they were able to lock him up. Can’t wait to see how he develops.

Really big signing to help out the depth of this team. Iirc the Knicks drafted him as an under the table deal for the Yabusele signing lol. Meanwhile he became the far more valuable player for the team. He has a ton of potential and I hope he gets to tap onto it with this team.

is he related to Nuggets legend Yakhouba Diawara?

Probably not. Diawara is a very common last name.

[Charania] Restricted free agent Mohamed Diawara intends to sign a multiyear, $10-plus million deal to return to the New York Knicks, sources tell ESPN. Diawara – the No. 51 pick in last year’s NBA draft – was part of the champion Knicks after spending the season on a standard contract.
