Sources, including Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, report that the New York Knicks have already reached out to multiple franchises to gauge interest in former first-round pick Dadiet.
Abu Dhabi Spotlight
Dadiet, who signed an Exhibit 9 contract with New York, was placed in the starting lineup against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday during the first of two Abu Dhabi matchups.
Insiders suggest this move was designed to showcase him for potential trade partners, catching the attention of rival front offices.
Knicks Roster Strategy
The Knicks’ maneuver underscores the delicate balance of retaining veteran talent while managing roster spots. Dadiet’s performance in Abu Dhabi could influence which teams pursue a trade, as New York works to finalize its roster ahead of the new season.
