The Knicks filled the roster w/ EV advanced stats players while getting rid of all the overpriced players that teams typically would let the sunk cost fallacy keep them on.
Without letting analysis paralysis stop them.
The RJ Barrett trade is a microcosm of what they did right.
It’s fun that there are basically zero lessons any team can take from the Knicks. You can’t plan to rebuild by signing a guy who’s been raised from birth to be your specific team’s savior, who then becomes a superstar overnight — and THEN takes a $113m pay cut to sign his buds.
