Knicks Plan to Sign Mohamed Diawara to Standard Contract

The New York Knicks Are Facing That's Got The Knicks Poised to Sign 2025 Second-Round Pick Mohamed Diawara to a Standard Contract.

New York Has to Sign at Least Two More Players to Standard Contcts. The challenge is that the knicks only have room to sign one veteran minimum deal and one rookie minimum deal. The Caveat Being that the ROOKIE MINIMUM DEAL HAS TO BE FOR A PLAYER The reason for that an undarafted rookie count towards the luxury tax and tax aprons at the Two-year veteran minimum amount.

New York Triggered A Second-APRON HARD CAP Via Signing Guerschon Yabusele Using The Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception.

With Malcolm Brogdon and Landry Shamet Presumably Competing For the Veteran Minimum Spot, That Leaves The Rookie Minimum Spot to Fill. That spot will apparently go to rookie forward diawara.

Last Season, The 6-Foot-9 Forward Played for Cholet in His Native France. Diawara Averageed 6.1 Points, 3.2 Rebounds and 1.3 Assists in 19.6 Minutes Per Game. The Theler 19-Year-Rold Forward appeared in 49 Total Games for Cholet Last Season.

Much Like Last Season, New York Will Be Managing the End of Their Bench Throughout The Year. The Knicks Should Eventuallly Have Enough Space to Fill Out The Full Amount of 15 Players on Standard Contcts Before the End of the Regular Season.
