Ron Baker, a gritty and serviceable basketballer whose NBA ceiling is beneath the roof, made his final sacrifice for the New York Knicks this week when he was waived in order to make room on the roster for undrafted rookie sensation Allonzo Trier.
Baker, best known for his luxurious locks of golden hair that flow like the Trevi Fountain in Rome, appeared in 92 total games over three seasons with the Knicks and averaged 3.3 points, 1.8 assists and 1.5 rebounds in just under 15 minutes per contest, according to a statement from the Knicks public relations team.
