NY Post

Landry Shamet, a 27-year-old combo guard, agreed to a one-year deal with the team, a source confirmed Saturday.
Before the signing, the Knicks had one roster spot open with 14 guaranteed contracts (they can hold up to 15 players in the regular season).
Though it’s unclear if Shamet’s one-year deal is guaranteed, the expectation is he’ll be on the final roster after choosing the Knicks over two other suitors, a source told The Post.
