O New York Knicks está recusando a opção do quarto ano de Pacome Dadiet, sua escolha de primeira rodada em 2024, com Fred Katz, do The Athletic, confirmando o primeiro relato.
Dadiet já tem garantidos US$ 2.983.680 para 2026/27. A opção recusada valia US$ 5.373.608 para 2027/28, e a decisão o torna agente livre irrestrito em 2027.
Não é surpresa. O ala francês quase não jogou no nível da NBA: apenas 1,6 ponto por jogo, com 1,0 rebote, em 5,2 minutos ao longo de 48 partidas, incluindo uma aparição de um minuto nesta temporada. Seus percentuais de arremesso nessa amostra pequena são de .329/.255/.765.
As coisas foram melhor na G League, com o Westchester, embora a eficiência siga sendo um problema. Como novato lá, jogou 23 partidas com 31,8 minutos, com médias de 13,9 pontos e 5,4 rebotes em .402/.296/.826. Na temporada passada, em 19 jogos com 34,6 minutos, ele teve 22,2 pontos e 4,7 rebotes em .450/.325/.708.
A criação de jogadas também foi limitada: 1,6 assistência contra 2,6 turnovers em 2025/26, depois de 2,4 e 2,0 no ano anterior.
Recusar a opção dá a Nova York mais espaço de manobra no verão de 2027, quando a opção de equipe de Josh Hart e a opção de jogador de US$ 61 milhões de Karl-Anthony Towns entram em cena. Miles McBride é um dos vários que caminham para a agência livre irrestrita.
Se as opções de Towns, Hart e Tyler Kolek forem todas exercidas, os Knicks projetam ficar cerca de US$ 14,7 milhões abaixo do segundo apron com nove jogadores contratados para 2027/28.
Um novo acordo na agência livre de 2027 segue possível, mas Nova York não poderia oferecer um salário inicial acima do valor da opção que acabou de recusar — um desfecho improvável para um jovem de 21 anos com produção modesta até aqui.
