Reacquired

Knicks traded Donte DiVincenzo this offseason, therefore they cannot reacquire him until the end of this season.

LEBRON (Luck-adjusted player Estimate using a Box prior Regularized ON-off) impact data is provided by BBall Index . See how LEBRON is calculated, and explore the data.

This trade happens on July 1. The Knicks send Kelly Olynic to the Nets to open up a trade exemption.

At that point, they sign Steven Adams because they are under the first apron. Then they trade Kolek for DDV and the second rounder. DDV into the trade exception

The Timberwolves do that because they really need a young point guard on a cheap contract because Conley is going to retire soon and they only have Dillingham.
