The Knicks completed much of their offseason work by drafting Mohamed Diawara and signing Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele. Initially, it was believed Yabusele would take the full taxpayer mid-level exception, potentially complicating salary cap flexibility. However, he agreed to a lower salary of $5.5 million for 2025-26, enabling the Knicks to maintain compliance with roster and salary cap requirements while creating space to sign two veteran players. The Knicks aim to enhance their roster, particularly focusing on center and wing depth.
