On September 12, the New York Knicks and free agent guard Landry Shamet signed a one-year contract with the team. He will continue to play for the Knicks and usher in his eighth NBA season .

Last season, the Knicks, led by Jalen Brunson, reached the Eastern Conference Finals, coming within a whisker of the Finals. Although ultimately eliminated by the Indiana Pacers, the team's overall performance still garnered widespread acclaim. New York made several significant moves during the offseason, including hiring Mike Brown as new head coach and acquiring French forward Gerchon Yabusele. Only after these major additions were completed did the team turn its attention to Shamet.

Shamet's impact began to emerge in the latter half of last season. His consistent three-point shooting and floor-moving ability provided a powerful bulge off the Knicks' bench. In the playoffs, while not a primary scorer, he hit several clutch shots in the series against the Pacers, demonstrating the value of a role player.

According to ESPN reporter Shams Charania, Shamet's agent, George S. Langberg, confirmed the one-year contract. Brown's arrival further enhances Shamet's tactical value. Last season, the Knicks' starting lineup was overwhelmed by playoff fatigue, and a lack of bench depth became a weakness. This contract extension is undoubtedly intended to reduce the burden on the starting lineup and strengthen the rotation for the next season's Finals campaign.

The Knicks kept their core roster intact this summer and added strength at multiple positions. With Shamet's return, the team's backcourt depth has been further enhanced. If he can continue his consistent perimeter play, the Knicks will have an even greater advantage in the competitive Eastern Conference.
