I just don't believe a group who secretly thinks the game like Charles Barkley would be so quick to point out to the world that they don't
No one is saying they are Barkley. Barkley is a clown. He is very entertaining, but a clown nonetheless. He couldn't be more wrong or mindless on this "debate" anyway.
It's not about being an analytics fetishist. It's about arming yourself with as much information (that also includes scouting, interviews, and other "old school" means) as possible to make a decision.
Like I said earlier it's about actualizing your vision, whatever it may be, for success. An incurious approach to achieving that goal is reprehensible to me. Why wouldn't you want to exhaust every available avenue before making a decision that will effect that goal?

But, do we know that they don't? Is it possible they collect all the data, but still make some decisions that don't look good in Pelton's computer?
They wouldnt be the only ones. Hinkie's got the luxury of zero expectations of winning. So right now he's 1000% all in. However, even known hard core stat guys have gone against their own philosophies when they're actually trying to win games. Morey brought Josh Smith. Hollinger traded for Jeff Green after ripping him a new one a few years ago when he was writing about this stuff and not actually doing it for real.
