They defeated the Washington Wizards for their eighth straight victory, which put with within one half-game of the second-place Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference standings. And on the whole, things are looking pretty good in the Big Apple.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/indispensable-knicks-player-expectations-karl-anthony-towns">Karl-Anthony Towns has continued his dominance</a>. Mikal Bridges has kept up his strong play. And everyone else has stepped up as needed (see Josh Hart in the Knicks most recent win). But one addition that’s already been made can help the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-landry-shamet-addresses-key-need">Knicks take the next step, Landry Shamet. </a></p><p>Shamet is a sixth-year veteran with a proven skill set. In short, he shoots the lights out.</p><p>He has <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/shamela01.html" rel="noopener">career averages</a> of 10.8 points in 22 minutes per game, and he has converted 38.4% of three-point attempts. And he’s pretty darn efficient, too. He averaged just seven field goal attempts per game through his career. But the Shamet signing isn’t about how much he can score. It was more about who he relieves and how that can help keep the team fresh for a deep playoff run.</p><h2><b>Mikal Bridges could burn out at anytime </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Mikal-Bridges-driving-to-the-basket-against-the-Washington-Wizards.jpg"><figcaption>Reggie Hildred-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>To fully appreciate the Shamet signing, we’ll have to examine Bridges, and—to a lesser extent—OG Anunoby. Bridges leads the entire NBA in minutes per game, despite being new to the Knicks and taking on an entirely new role (i.e., going from a first option to the team’s third or fourth option). While Bridges has been an iron man, to say the least, through his basketball career, it is entirely conceivable that he suffers an injury at any point in time. And it’s more likely given how much he’s played this season, and all prior seasons.</p><p>In addition to leading the league in minutes per game, Bridges has appeared in all of the Knicks’ 33 games so far. In fact, he hasn’t missed a single professional game through his career.</p><p>What’s more, Tom Thibodeau is obviously prone to leaning on his stars a little more heavily than most coaches. Case in point, he has kept his starters in <i>deep</i> into the fourth quarter of virtually every blowout win this season. Granted, it’s understandable to keep starters when leads are virtually never safe. But Thibodeau receives a good deal of criticism about this, and Bridges might just bear the brunt of it.</p><h2><b>Landry Shamet to the rescue</b></h2><p>But it’s not entirely coach Thibodeau’s fault. The Knicks roster construction has demanded that Thibodeau lean on his starters. Entering the season, there were only two legitimate bench players who could handle significant roles (due to injuries)—Miles McBride and Cam Payne. There was not a legitimate shooting guard who could confidently defend most NBA twos (and there still isn’t a legitimate backup wing).</p><p>With the arrival of  Shamet, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-landry-shamet-injury-update-sheds-light-contract-situation">who would have been a Knick sooner if not for a shoulder injury</a>, coach Thibodeau can now insert the Wichita State alum into situations for between 1o and 20 minutes per game. That will likely benefit Bridges more than anyone.</p><p>Despite <i>just</i> joining the Knicks, Shamet is averaging 9.2 minutes —and 4.3 points on 75% three-point shooting with a +6.7  plus-minus—per game. And the Knicks’ most recent win exemplifies exactly how Shamet can help.</p><p>He played 11 minutes, which alleviated some of the burden on Bridges. The Villanova alum played just 36 minutes against the Wizards, whereas he’d averaged 41.2 minutes per game through the team’s previous 10 games. That’s a notable difference, and it adds up over the course of a season.</p><h2><b>Shamet might benefit OG Anunoby and Josh Hart, too</b></h2><p>While Shamet is just six-foot-four, his presence will probably impact the team’s bigger wings, as well. How so? We know that coach Thibodeau isn’t going to play Bridges 10 minutes less per game. Bridges is far more durable than Anunoby. So, it stands to reason that he will, instead, slide Bridges and Hart to the three and four, respectively, for some of Shamet’s minutes. That means fewer minutes for Anunoby.</p><p>Anunoby is averaging 36.6 minutes per game through the season. However, he played 34 or fewer minutes in two of New York’s previous three games—and they were the two games in which Shamet played 10 or more.</p><p>To be fair, looking at Shamet’s impact on Anunoby’s minutes is difficult as there has been  far too small a sample size to extrapolate how coach Thibodeau will augment rotations. But it’s important to remember that while position-less basketball is a pipe dream, the modern NBA does allow for freer use of players depending on opponent rotations.</p><p>In other words, New York could easily play Jalen Brunson, McBride, Shamet, Hart, and Towns for stretches. They could even have Shamet as a four for short periods of time. And coach Thibodeau has certainly earned the benefit of the doubt. So, sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the ride—because the Knicks are better prepared for a deep run now with Shamet than they were a short while ago. And much of that has to do with the idea that Bridges may get a little more rest along the way.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The signing comes after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-make-final-landry-shamet-roster-decision">New York waved Shamet earlier this year</a> after he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-landry-shamet-exits-hornets-game-in-pain-injury">suffered a shoulder injury in a pre-season game</a>. But Shamet joining the team was always part of the plan, and he adds another versatile veteran to the Knicks bench. Now, the Knicks look poised to be even better than expected considering <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-recent-success-molded-mikal-bridges-fit">how well they’ve played of late</a>, and Shamet adds importance depth, and shooting to a team in desperate need of both things.</p><h2><b>Landry Shamet signing helps Knicks out in a position of need</b></h2><p>Shamet is a six-year veteran with <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/shamela01.html" rel="noopener">career averages</a> of 10.8 points in 22 minutes per game, and he has converted 38.4% of three-point attempts, according to basketball reference. Prior to last season, Shamet’s career <i>low</i> was 8.3 points per game (36.8% three-point shooting).</p><p>Granted, Shamet’s stat line was less impressive last season (7.1 points on 33.8% three-point shooting); however, that can be a result of one of two things: he played a career-low 15.8 minutes per game, and he had fewer open looks as a result of the Washington Wizards lack of offensive threats.</p><p>Regardless, Shamet is a gifted shooter who coach Tom Thibodeau values because of his experience playing with Cam Payne and Mikal Bridges (while on the Phoenix Suns). He is unlikely to play major minutes, as Payne is the backup point guard and Mikal Bridges and Miles McBride have most of the shooting guard minutes locked down. Still, the six-foot-four-inch shooting guard represents another shooter with a real NBA pedigree, and that can be meaningful.</p><h2><b>Knicks’ depth is improved by Shamet</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Landry-Shamet-converts-a-layup-against-the-Minnesota-Timberwolves-in-a-pre-season-matchup.jpg"><figcaption>Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Knicks rotation can absolutely use another shooting guard. The depth chart is awfully thin at the moment. Beyond their starting five, the Knicks play only four players, consistently—Miles McBride, Precious Achiuwa, Cam Payne, and Jericho Sims. Sims and Achiuwa are both big men who are entirely necessary considering a lack of size in the starting five.</p><p>In other words, the Knicks bench boasts only two non-big men, and both are point guards (or traditional point guard size). So, if Bridges, Josh Hart, or O.G. Anunoby get into foul trouble or—God forbid—get injured, there were no notable backups, until now.</p><h2><b>Landry Shamet as an insurance policy</b></h2><p>Landry Shamet is as much an insurance policy as he is a weapon. His experience and cool demeanor mean he can hold down the fort for an extended period of time without the team coming completely undone. Sure, New York needs its starters to succeed on a bigger scale (e.g., in the playoffs), but having capable depth is incredibly important.</p><p>Think back to last season. After going on an absolute heater after adding Anunoby, New York struggled without Anunoby and Julius Randle. Why? Because two capable forwards were out at the same time for a number of months. But the presence of Hart (and to a lesser degree, Achiuwa) helped the Knicks stay afloat. So, instead of going 7-20 (or possibly worse), the Knicks went 13-14, keeping them in prime playoff position.</p><p>Of course, it felt like the world was ending in the moment; but in hindsight, going without Anunoby and Randle didn’t do <i>that</i> much damage. Shamet can play a similar role if needed (which hopefully is not).</p><p>To be clear, there is still more to do in terms of fleshing out the depth chart. Specifically, New York still needs a bigger wing (we see you, TJ Warren). However, that’s a problem for another day. For now, the Knicks just added a tangible piece to a team that was dangerously thin at his position. And just think, the Knicks front office has another month-and-a-half to maneuver before the trade deadline.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/celtics-news-tie-nba-3-point-record-opening-night-vs-knicks">Celtics tied the NBA record for three-pointers made</a> in a game in the season opener, and now it appears that the Knicks are trying to add some more firepower into their arsenal.</p><p>The Knicks are trying to add sharpshooters Landry Shamet and Matt Ryan to their team, but they aren’t going about it in the way that you might think. Both players are eligible for the NBA G League Draft, which will take place on Saturday.</p><p>The Knicks’ G League affiliate, the Westchester Knicks, <a href="https://x.com/TheSteinLine/status/1849890333292888486" rel="noopener">have the top two picks</a> in the draft and could use them to pick up the two snipers, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line.</p><p>“Landry Shamet and Matt Ryan, players the Knicks are known to covet when they take their roster from 12 to 14, are both eligible for Saturday’s @nbagleague draft, sources say,” Stein reported on X, formerly Twitter. “Westchester owns the top two picks; drafting Shamet enables the Knicks to supervise his shoulder rehab.”</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-make-final-landry-shamet-roster-decision">Knicks waived Shamet on Saturday</a> after he sustained a shoulder injury during a preseason game. They have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-knicks-targeting-sharpshooter">also been linked with Ryan</a> as this season has gotten underway, and this could be their easiest route to getting him in the building.</p><h2><b>Knicks hoping season opener isn’t a sign of things to come</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Tom-Thibodeau.jpg"><figcaption>David Butler II-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Knicks-Celtics matchup to open the NBA regular season on Tuesday night was billed as a blockbuster matchup between the two best teams in the Eastern Conference on paper, but what transpired on the court was anything but a marquee contest.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-panic-meter-after-embarrassing-season-opener-vs-celtics">Celtics ran the new-look Knicks off of the court</a>, knocking down an absurd amount of three-pointers on their way to a 132-109 win. The margin of victory probably could have been larger had the Celtics not spent the last six minutes shooting exhibition-like three-pointers in an attempt to break the all-time NBA record, which they tied but never eclipsed.</p><p>The Knicks are hoping that’s not a sign of things to come for a team that went all-in this offseason and traded for Karl-Anthony Towns to add some scoring punch to their frontcourt. Despite the discouraging loss, there are signs that the Knicks should land on their feet and be just fine.</p><p>This roster is too talented to not perform well as long as they’re healthy. Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby form one of the best defensive duos in the league on the wing and Jalen Brunson proved last season that he can get a bucket with the best of them.</p><p>In the middle, Towns gives the Knicks a shooter that they didn’t have before, and they <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-stephen-a-smith-disbelief-latest-mitchell-robinson-injury-update">should get Mitchell Robinson back</a> at some point to help out the defense. Any team would take some time to gel after such a big shakeup right before the season, so losing to the defending champs on opening night is no big deal.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

New York had gotten an extensive look at the players that were added before training camp, and they made a move on one standout contributor on Saturday: former Los Angeles Clippers guard Landry Shamet.</p><p>The Knicks <a href="https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1847737102714204590" rel="noopener">are waiving</a> Shamet from their roster, ESPN’s Shams Charania reports. Shamet had an admirable preseason, averaging 10.8 points per game. New York will likely maintain their roster at 12 players and bring Shamet back once he recovers from <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-landry-shamet-exits-hornets-game-in-pain-injury" rel="noopener">his shoulder injury</a>, Charania added.</p><p>ESPN Front Office Insider Bobby Marks <a href="http://New%20York%20is%20allowed%20to%20have%20fewer%20than%2014%20players%20on%20their%20roster%20but%20for%20no%20more%20than%2028%20total%20days%20during%20the%20regular%20season%20and%2014%20consecutive%20days%20at%20a%20time." rel="noopener">provided more insight</a> on Charania’s report regarding the Knicks’ roster status:</p><p>“New York is allowed to have fewer than 14 players on their roster but for no more than 28 total days during the regular season and 14 consecutive days at a time,” Marks wrote on X (formerly Twitter).</p><p>Hopefully, Landry Shamet will undergo a speedy injury recovery and find his way back on New York’s roster. The ex-Clippers guard has played for five different NBA teams since being drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in 2018. His other bylines include the Brooklyn Nets, Phoenix Suns, and Washington Wizards.</p><p>Shamet is a valuable sharpshooter who can boost the Knicks’ floor spacing, should the team bring him back. ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel explained why <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-landry-shamet-injury-update-sheds-light-contract-situation">Shamet’s presence would be well</a> for New York.</p><p>“It would make sense for New York to keep Shamet despite his injury since he has always been a reliable three-point shooter. While he has struggled to find his shot in the preseason, shooting just 30 percent from the perimeter in four games with the Knicks, Shamet has shot 38.4 percent from deep for his career,” Siegel wrote on Oct. 18.</p><p>“Last season with the Washington Wizards, Shamet averaged 7.1 points per game while shooting 33.8 percent from three-point range.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Unfortunately for the 27-year-old, he <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-landry-shamet-exits-hornets-game-in-pain-injury">suffered a shoulder injury in a preseason game</a> against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday.</p><p>Initially, the severity of Shamet’s injury was not known, but it did not look good since he left the game in obvious pain holding his right shoulder. After undergoing further testing, the team revealed that Shamet had <a href="https://x.com/NY_KnicksPR/status/1847382161625928079" rel="noopener">dislocated his right shoulder</a> and that he will be re-evaluated at a later date.</p><p>This is not the best news for the team nor for Shamet, as he has been looking for a chance to make the Knicks’ opening-night roster. While it appears as if his contract with the team is now in jeopardy right before the start of the new season, the language that New York used in Shamet’s injury report suggests that they may keep him around.</p><p>The fact that the Knicks made it clear to state that Shamet would be re-evaluated at a later date makes it sound like he will be on the active roster ahead of the start of the new season. The Knicks currently have 12 players on their active roster and are $3.5 million below the second apron maximum of $188.9 million, which they are hard-capped at.</p><p>It would <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-new-york-secondary-players-2024-25-season">make sense for New York to keep Shamet</a> despite his injury since he has always been a reliable three-point shooter.

He went right to the locker room <a href="https://x.com/IanBegley/status/1846360685267075129" rel="noopener">in significant pain</a>, per Ian Begley on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>The Knicks defeated the Hornets 111-105, with Shamet chipping in for eight points and two rebounds.

With training camp coming up soon, the Knicks just made a significant move to solidify the back-end of their rotation by signing <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/wizards-news-washington-makes-11-million-landry-shamet-decision">former Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet</a>.</p><p>Shamet <a href="https://x.com/wojespn/status/1834958162706780399" rel="noopener">is signing</a> a one-year deal with the Knicks, according to ESPN’s NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski.</p><p>Before signing Shamet, the Knicks had one standard roster spot left heading into training camp.</p><p>Shamet, who appeared in 46 games for the Wizards last season and averaged 15.8 minutes per game put up 7.1 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game while shooting 33.8% from three on 3.4 attempts. Shamet’s best season came in 2019-20 with the Los Angeles Clippers when he played 27.4 minutes and scored 9.3 points per game as an everyday starter on a playoff team.</p><p>The 27-year-old Shamet is entering his seventh season in the NBA. Shamet was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 26th pick in the 2018 NBA Draft out of Wichita State before being traded to the Clippers during his rookie season. After spending one more year in Los Angeles, he then spent a season with the Brooklyn Nets. He then spent two seasons with the Phoenix Suns before joining the Wizards last year.</p><h2><b>Landry Shamet’s outlook with the New York Knicks</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/09-14-24-shamet-image.jpg"><figcaption>© Stephen Lew-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>While the Knicks’ depth was certainly a problem for them during the playoffs last year when their rotation was decimated by injuries, they made sure to address that this season through trades, free agency and the NBA Draft.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-2024-offseason-recap-mikal-bridges-trade-paves-path-title-contention">The biggest acquisition was of course Mikal Bridges</a>, who is expected to slot into the starting lineup alongside Jalen Brunson, O.G. Annunoby, Julius Randle and Mitchell Robinson. However, other depth pieces, like Cam Payne, Tyler Kolek and now Shamet are all expected to be able to contribute off the bench and get real minutes, especially if there are any injury concerns.</p><p>Shamet has primarily played at the shooting guard position throughout his NBA career, but has handled the ball before and could run the point for the Knicks if necessary in a pinch. While he should not be ahead of players like Donte DiVincenzo, Miles McBride or Josh Hart on the depth chart, the 6-4 Shamet is a good enough three point shooter that he will get minutes.</p><p>Signing a player like Shamet does not necessarily move the needle for the Knicks. But, it does provide them with a veteran shooter who has legitimate playoff experience, someone any contending team would be happy to have.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Furthermore, the Wizards have made a decisive move on Landry Shamet’s contract that has implications for their 2024-25 roster.</p><p>Washington is declining Landry Shamet’s <a href="https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1809649472160559605" rel="noopener">$11 million option</a> going into the 2024-25 season, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The sharpshooting guard will now join the free agent market.</p><p>Landry Shamet joined the Wizards for the 2023-24 season after spending two years with the Phoenix Suns. The 27-year-old comes off a year with averages of 7.1 points per game. Shamet shot 33.8 percent on his three-pointers in 2023-24, but he is a career 38.4 percent shooter. It will be interesting to see if he takes a pay cut to return to the Wizards or joins another team during the 2024 NBA Free Agency Period.</p><p>One of the biggest highlights of Washington’s offseason has been their NBA Draft selection. The Wizards selected French big man Alexandre Sarr with their second overall pick. At 7’1″ with a 7’4″ wingspan, Sarr can cover ground like few can. Offensively, he can play on the perimeter or the post. The 19-year averaged 9.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per game with the NBL’s Perth Wildcats. In addition, he shot 50 percent from the field and 27.6 on three-pointers.</p><p>ClutchPoints’ Brett Siegel <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/wizards-2024-nba-draft-grades-every-pick" rel="noopener">gave Washington’s draft grade</a> of Sarr an “A+”. This is what the insider had to say about Sarr:</p><p>“Alex Sarr got his wish of wanting to go second overall to the Washington Wizards instead of being in consideration for the Hawks’ No. 1 pick. It is clear to see that the Wizards are rebuilding, and they now get their hands on Sarr, who could end up being the best frontcourt player from this draft. His length and athleticism at the power forward and center positions make Sarr the perfect long-term prospect to pair with Bilal Coulibaly, whom Washington selected in the first round of the 2023 NBA Draft. This is a match made in heaven,” Siegel wrote.</p><h2><b>Wizards caught in more NBA Free Agency rumors </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Wizards-Landry-Shamet-dribbles-ball-against-Pelicans.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Despite drafting what looks to be Washington’s center of the future, the team still finds itself swarmed in rumors. Most notably, Kyle Kuzma, one of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-kyle-kuzma-still-being-linked-to-lakers-trade">Wizards’ go-to scorers</a> from 2023-24, could be moved during the offseason.</p><p>“Four names that have been consistently linked to the Lakers on the trade market have been Jerami Grant, Kyle Kuzma, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Cam Johnson,” Jovan Buha of The Athletic reported on July 3. “And as I recently reported at The Athletic, I’ve heard that the Lakers have held trade talks with Portland, Brooklyn, and Utah among other teams in recent days. So the Portland and Brooklyn talks would align with those players being on the trade market, and at this point, it’s a matter of haggling over picks and which players are involved.”</p><p>If Washington parts with Kuzma, it will shift the team into a further rebuilding state than they already are.

Fortunately, it has now been uniquely commemorated.</p><p>Gordon had arguably the dunk of the 2022-23 campaign last Christmas when he posterized then-Phoenix Suns guard Landry Shamet in the closing seconds of an overtime thriller. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-landry-shamets-eye-opening-take-after-getting-posterized-by-aaron-gordon" rel="noopener">The ferocious slam</a> enabled Denver to clinch the 128-125 victory. The moment has now been <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1705251521716215890" rel="noopener">transformed into a diamond pendent</a> and gifted to Gordon, via ClutchPoints (originally TMZ Sports).</p><p>A minor adjustment was made, however.

He was long known primarily for his elite athleticism and world-class dunking ability, which was on full display in the classic 2016 NBA Slam Dunk Contest.</p><p>Now, he is a key member of a title squad. The ball being replaced by the Finals trophy should always serve as a reminder that Gordon is more than just an attraction.

While the first half of the contest was tightly contested, the final two periods proved to be heavily in favor of Denver, with Jamal Murray paving the way during this stretch after a slow start.</p><p>Dropping just 2 points on 1-of-6 shooting from the field in the first and second quarter combined, the stud point guard came alive right out of halftime by scoring five of his team’s first seven points in the third. Along the way, tempers flared between him and Suns guard Landry Shamet which saw the two get quite physical and jaw at one other.</p><p>Ultimately, Jamal Murray had a technical called against him for his part in their back-and-forth exchange. During his post-game media session, however, the 26-year-old squashed any belief that their on-court beef was anything more than just being <a href="https://www.nba.com/watch/video/den-118-phx-102-jamal-murrays-postgame-media-availability?plsrc=nba&amp;game-highlights=0042200225" rel="noopener">in the heat of the moment</a>.</p><p>“I’m just trying to get myself going sometimes,” Jamal Murray said. “Sometimes I just need a little energy boost to myself and once I’m in attack mode it kind of changes the game. It’s nothing personal I’m just playing the game. He’s playing defense. He’s trying to pressure me and trying to do his job and I’m trying to do mine as well. It’s just playoff basketball. There’s nothing there.”</p><p>Logging 36 minutes on the night, Jamal Murray came away from the crucial Game 5 victory with a stellar stat line of 19 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, and a steal while shooting 46.7% from the field and 50.0% from deep.</p><p>Considering how grueling of a start he had and finding himself finishing with such numbers, it certainly appears that his tactics of getting an energy boost worked.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Although it was objectively one of the best in-game dunks this season, Shamet was not impressed with the foul reversal.</p><p>“It just sucks that bang-bang plays can be reviewed,” Shamet said to reporters after the game. “You draw a charge in the flow of a game, go back and look at it, it’s easy when you slow it down…that’s basketball. It happens.”</p><p>That’s a pretty reasonable answer from Shamet, who sacrificed the body in a big way to draw the charge in a difficult two-on-one situation.

With that in mind, L.A. has reportedly reached out to the Brooklyn Nets about a trade involving sharpshooter Landry Shamet.</p><p><a href="https://www.sny.tv/articles/sources-mavericks-lakers-trade-nets-landry-shamet-nba-draft">According to SNY’s Ian Begley</a>, the two sides have discussed the framework of a deal that would send Shamet and the Nets’ first-round pick in the 2021 NBA Draft (No. 27) to Los Angeles, while the Lakers’ No. 22 pick would head to Brooklyn. Per Begley, it remains “unclear” if the Nets would ask for either Kyle Kuzma or Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in the exchange.</p><p>The Lakers are among “several teams” who have talked to the Nets about a draft-pick-centered trade involving the 24-year old sniper, per Begley.</p><p>Los Angeles has no cap space and few tradable assets <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-rumors-la-discussing-montrezl-harrell-kyle-kuzma-and-no-22-pick-in-trade-talks/">outside of Kuzma</a>, KCP, and the No. 22 pick. Most of the remaining rostered players — not including LeBron James and Anthony Davis — are <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/heres-what-every-lakers-free-agent-said-about-the-future-after-exit-interviews/">pending free agents</a> (sign-and-trades are <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/the-1-hard-truth-about-the-los-angeles-lakers-offseason/">hard to pull off</a>), and they cannot deal another first-rounder before 2027.</p><p>As a result, the Lakers have been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-rumors-the-2-players-lakers-are-desperately-trying-to-trade-this-offseason/">aggressively shopping Kuzma and KCP</a>, to no avail thus far. Various reporting has indicated GM Rob Pelinka’s willingness to move <a href="https://twitter.com/_michaelcorvo_/status/1420074269262983175">up</a> or <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/2021-nba-draft-rumors-lakers-looking-to-trade-down-from-no-22/">down</a> in Thursday’s draft.</p><p>Shamet isn’t the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/can-lakers-put-3rd-star-around-lebron-james-and-anthony-davis/">third star</a>/play-maker Los Angeles is seeking, but he would help remedy their perimeter shooting woes — a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-10-things-you-should-wonder-about-the-offseason/">stated priority</a> by Pelinka. The Lakers were oft-plagued by their meager and inconsistent long-range output throughout the 2020-21 season.</p><p>For his career, Shamet has shot 39.7% on 8.5 three-point attempts per 36 minutes. He drained 10-of-26 threes for Brooklyn during the 2021 playoffs.</p><p>Shamet — who has already played for the Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Clippers, and the Nets in his young career — is entering the final year of his rookie contract, so he’s eligible for an extension right now. His current $3.7 million salary for 2021-22 makes him relatively easy to trade for, financially speaking.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With eyes on further improving their roster via the upcoming 2021 NBA Draft, Brooklyn is being rumored to be shopping Landry Shamet with the goal of moving up the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/3-best-options-for-nets-at-no-27-in-2021-nba-draft-ranked/">board</a>, according to sources of Jake Fischer of <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2946416-latest-trade-buzz-on-ben-simmons-bradley-beal-andshai-gilgeous-alexander"><i>Bleacher Report</i></a>.</p><blockquote>Houston (Nos. 23, 24) and New York (Nos. 19, 21) have continued their efforts searching to jump into the teens, while Brooklyn also appears active in talks to move up from No. 27, with the Nets offering sharpshooting guard Landry Shamet, sources said.</blockquote><p>NBA teams are obviously not fighting for the right to acquire Shamet, a decent role player, whose best asset is his outside sniping. However, he’s a low-risk, medium-reward type of investment, as he’s only going to earn $3.768 million in the 2021-22 season. Plus, he is on an expiring contract, so the Nets or a team that would potentially land him via trade before the draft could just let him walk away by the end of the next campaign.</p><p>The challenge for the Nets is to find a team willing to let go of a higher slot on the draft, which could be tricky, as it’s unlikely someone inside the top 20 would take on this deal without additional sweeteners. </p><p>Shamet is making 2.1 threes per game on <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/landry-shamet/9f0f08fc/stats"> 39.7%</a> shooting so far in his NBA career.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Clearly evident by the 36-17 record in the Eastern Conference which is good for second, just a half-game behind the Philadelphia 76ers.</p><p>Following their early afternoon game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, in which they spanked the Karl Anthony-Towns less squad 127-97, Landry Shamet was being interviewed when he was given a strong bear hug from DeAndre Jordan via <a href="https://twitter.com/YESNetwork/status/1382099203296477186?s=20">YES Network</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">.<a href="https://twitter.com/Grady?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@Grady</a> with Landry Shamet <a href="https://t.co/AZCrT01RKj" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/AZCrT01RKj</a></p><p>— YES Network (@YESNetwork) <a href="https://twitter.com/YESNetwork/status/1382099203296477186?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">April 13, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Shamet had a great game for the Nets, scoring 19 of their 56 bench points. He also added five rebounds and five assists to go with a steal. Jordan on the other hand also contributed mightily off the bench with 13 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and a block. Kevin Durant led the way with a game-high 31 points.</p><p>The Nets were without Kyrie Iriving, LaMarcus Aldridge, and James Harden, but that didn’t matter against the lowly Timberwolves.</p><p>There’s no question that this Nets team is going to be a tough out in the playoffs. They have yet to be fully healthy with injuries, but when they do they will be a tough matchup for anyone. On top of that, when you think of team success and morale, it starts in the locker room but it’s also shown on the bench and in the post-game for how they interact with one another.</p><p>The Nets’ morale is riding high, and the kind of fun and success they are having could lead them all the way to the NBA Finals.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
