Would you go with a player who averages 14.7 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game and makes over $40 million a year?

Yeah, I don't either.

But that's exactly what the Knicks are doing, and it's honestly not surprising. New York was once a dysfunctional franchise that never won. But after tasting a bit of success in 2023-24, they're now a little less dysfunctional and incredibly eager to win. The problem is, it's coming across as outright desperation, which is what led to this Anunoby deal.

This is definitely going to blow up in their face. I've seen this story with New York teams. (*clear throat* Mets *clear throat*)
