Knicks Lock In Championship Core | New York Knicks News

The Knicks pulled off a masterclass in roster retention, bringing back nearly their entire championship core without triggering the luxury tax. Mitchell Robinson is the lone departure, but Landry Shamet — the unsung hero of their title run — locked in a four-year, $24M deal that’s shaping up as one of the league’s best value contracts. Shamet averaged over 23 minutes in the regular season and 16+ in the playoffs, including an electric 91% three-point shooting performance in the ECF against Cleveland, capped by a clutch shot that ignited a Game 1 comeback. He’ll make just under $5.5M in 2026-27 — ranking him around 262 in salary — proving the Knicks got a proven playoff performer at a fraction of what others are paying. With this move, they’re primed for another deep postseason run. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
