Knicks Have 'Mutual Interest' With Veteran Shooter: Insider

There Is Mutual Interest Between the Knicks And Shamet

NBA insider Ian Begley opened up the idea of Shamet returning to the Knicks. He talked about it on the recent episode of the "Putback with Ian Begley."

“I’m talking about Shamet because I think there’s still mutual interest there in Shamet and the Knicks,” Begley said. “If I’m guessing, I’m guessing that it ends up with Shamet getting one of those spots… I think it’ll end up that way.

“I think there’s a lot of support, internally, for bringing Shamet back. I think there’s a lot of respect for what he did last year with the shoulder injury, getting back on the floor, impacting the things in the postseason.”

Begley also entertained the idea of bringing another veteran player onto the roster. He mentioned free agent guard Ben Simmons, who last played with the Los Angeles Clippers. He remains unsigned despited being a former NBA star.
