Who might the Knicks sign with that veteran’s minimum deal? They have continued to touch base with Ben Simmons during the free agency period. I’m sure they have touched base with other vets as well. Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook are among the lead guards still on the market. Teams are wondering if Washington will agree to a buyout with veteran guard Marcus Smart. For what it’s worth, the Knicks don’t seem to be exclusively focused on ball-handling guards with that last spot. New York still sees Landry Shamet as a possibility and Shamet remains open to returning to New York.

As noted earlier, they have had interest in bringing back Landry Shamet. Shamet also has interest from contenders in both conferences. -via SportsNet New York / July 2, 2025
Landry Shamet is expected to draw interest from several contending teams seeking guard depth and shooting. The New York Knicks have also expressed interest in re-signing Shamet, HoopsHype has learned. -via HoopsHype / June 30, 2025
A couple of other names to consider with the taxpayer midlevel exception are Spencer Dinwiddie, Trey Lyles and Al Horford. As for minimum players, I wouldn’t be shocked if the Knicks brought back Delon Wright and/or Landry Shamet. -via New York Times / June 17, 2025
