Knicks pick up third-year option on Pacome Dadiet

The Knicks are keeping Pacome Dadiet around for at least another season.

New York has exercised the third-year team option on the 6-foot-7 guard/forward, as reported by Ian Begley of SNY. The move guarantees Dadiet $2,983,680 for the 2026-27 season.

The Knicks will have until next October to decide on his fourth-year option.

Dadiet, 20, only logged 111 total minutes across 18 games as a rookie last year. He hasn’t made an appearance so far this season, but he saw extended run in the G League, where he averaged 13.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.4 assists for Westchester in 23 games.

Efficiency was the concern, as he shot 40 percent from the field and 29.6 percent from three.

There was some noise earlier this fall that the Knicks might move Dadiet to create a little breathing room below the second apron.

But Malcolm Brogdon’s surprise retirement eased the pressure on the books and removed that possibility. For now, Dadiet remains part of New York’s plans.
