Knicks Considering Matt Ryan for Roster Spot

The New York Knicks are showing strong interest in signing free agent Matt Ryan, a 27-year-old sharpshooter who recently played for the New Orleans Pelicans and has a notable 45% shooting percentage from three-point range. Ryan, a local talent from New Rochelle, is under consideration to potentially fill a roster spot vacated by Landry Shamet, who was waived due to a dislocated shoulder. The Knicks currently have the salary cap space to offer Ryan a veteran's minimum deal, but their financial constraints complicate matters as they are hard-capped under the second apron. To facilitate Ryan's signing, it may require converting a two-way player, with Ariel Hukporti being a candidate. The Knicks are looking to finalize their roster in the coming days as they enter the season, and Ryan's experience could provide a much-needed boost on the perimeter. Both parties have mutual interest, but the situation remains fluid as the Knicks navigate their roster and salary cap.
