Knicks re-sign Landry Shamet and another guard to round out roster after Ben Simmons flirtation
NY Post
The Knicks have set up a wing battle for a roster spot.
Landry Shamet and Garrison Mathews, a pair of sharpshooting two-guards, agreed Thursday to one-year, non-guaranteed deals with the Knicks, sources told The Post.
Shamet’s return was rumored for months after he finished last season in the Knicks’ playoff rotation, having recovered admirably from a separated shoulder sustained almost a year ago in preseason.
He stuck around the New York area and had been working as an unpaid freelance photographer at the U.S. Open.
Mathews’ signing, which was first reported by The Post and confirmed by his agent, Dave Bauman, occurred after he weighed at least one other option and landed on the training camp competition against Shamet.
Mathews, 28, who played most of the past three seasons with the Hawks, has shot 38.2 percent from beyond the arc for his career, his greatest asset.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
