Knicks Waive Shamet, Warren, and Okeke

The New York Knicks have waived Landry Shamet, T.J. Warren, and Chuma Okeke as they trim their roster ahead of the 2024-25 NBA season. Shamet, who suffered a dislocated shoulder during a preseason game, was on a non-guaranteed contract and is expected to be brought back once he's recovered. The Knicks are considering their options to fill his roster spot, with potential candidates including former Knicks player Marcus Morris and veterans like Dennis Smith Jr. and Furkan Korkmaz. The decision to waive Warren and Okeke is part of a financial strategy to stay below the second luxury tax apron, and Warren may still return to the Knicks through the G League. The team will begin their season against the Boston Celtics, with their roster currently standing at 12 players.
