Not sure Shamet is worth the move, but I could see a team that's trying to be all in doing something like this.
Then again, Leon sacrificed Grimes for Burks and Burks\Bogs and they kind of sucked.
The problem is I doubt Kolek is highly sought after.
Not sure if they can attach a pick (some 2nd rounder) and trade him into a cap space team. I guess that's not allowed. If it was, I'd do that.
As far as Dadiet goes, Knicks just drafted another big wing. And picked up Dink Pate. MAYBE they feel that's enough for the developmental pipeline and they'd be willing to sacrifice Dadiet for that vet.
For as limited a role that Shamet is going to play, I wouldn't trade Dadiet, but not sure what the thought process is.
And trading Deuce is just dumb and I'd only assume any rumors are based on the Knicks dangling him, but only it some scenario they see as a clear win, like Keon Ellis (not sure I see it as a win) or in some weird Kessler deal.
Meaning, they'll listen to offers on Deuce but aren't actively looking to move him.
Moving Deuce would also be dumb, and I'm aware of what he does well as well as his limitations.
We're not moving Deuce unless somebody blows our hair back. Not to make room for Shamet though. Deuce is just a different class of player than any of our other younger pieces in that he's already proven he's a mid-NBA rotation guy. That's a bigger trade for a big wing.
I really think the brass doesn't want to trade Dadiet or he'd be gone. We have the other guys you mentioned but Dadiet is more of a blue chipper imo. There's more that would need to happen for them to get as good. But we could trade him. I'd drop Shamet as well if it were me.
