00:00A guy we've talked a little bit about, I guess, here,
00:02maybe not enough in the preseason, is Pakom Dadie.
00:04Saw some more minutes tonight, had seven points,
00:07hit a couple threes in the first half.
00:09Where are the mix with him right now,
00:12and what have you liked or maybe not liked
00:14that you've seen from him in the preseason?
00:15Well, this was his best game by far.
00:16I mean, he struggled not only during previous preseason games,
00:20but in summer league.
00:21He didn't look very good.
00:22With him, it's important that he hits that three-point shot.
00:24He has not been able to hit that consistent three
00:27throughout his brief NBA career.
00:30But he did hit two, traced a nine.
00:31I think he was two for three.
00:33The deal with Pakom is he has a team option on his contract
00:38that needs to be picked up by Halloween.
00:41Yeah.
00:41The Knicks will not be picking that up.
00:43It's over $5 million that we know they're counting their money.
00:46That's not something they're going to want on their books,
00:48which means Pakom Dadie is also going to be a potential trade,
00:54potentially on the trade market,
00:55because the Knicks could try to unload salary
00:58to sign another player.
01:00They have a bunch of non-guaranteed guys
01:01that are working out now.
01:03So Pakom is somebody I'm keeping an eye on
01:04moving forward in preseason and beyond.
