This aligns with a directive that the Knicks were operating under prior to the 2020 trade deadline: Whatever happens, we need to maintain enough assets to be in position to trade for a star player. Even though he wasn't officially in charge at the time, it's fair to assume that Rose was on board with that thinking. And it's fair to assume that, based on that directive, Rose will be aggressive if the right young star becomes available via trade.
It's unclear if or when the next young star will privately -- or publicly -- seek a trade. But recent history suggests it's inevitable.
Just look at the past few seasons: Kyrie Irving, Jimmy Butler, Kristaps Porzingis and Anthony Davis have all asked to be traded.
Based on that trend, it's fair to assume that at least one young star will seek a trade within the next year or two.
The Knicks, you'll remember, had no interest in trading future assets for Butler. They engaged with Cleveland on Irving and with New Orleans on Davis, but New York wasn't comfortable giving up enough assets to land either player.
Under former team presidents Phil Jackson and Mills, the Knicks had been strongly opposed to dealing future first-round picks. This was a reasonable stance to take for an organization that had been burned so often by trading first-rounders in the past.
But before the 2020 deadline, that approach changed. The Knicks were comfortable including future first-round picks in deals for Russell and Charlotte's Terry Rozier.
The feeling among some in the organization is that they have so many picks (again, seven in the next four drafts) that they can afford to send one or two out in a trade if it nets a star.
In his letter to Knicks fans in early March, Rose offered a small window into how he may approach building the roster.
"Nothing about this is easy, or quick, so I ask for your continued patience. What I promise you in return is that I will be honest and forthright. We will develop a plan that makes sense, both to jumpstart our short-term growth and ensure our long-term success."
It seems like part of jumpstarting the Knicks' short-term growth includes being aggressive in trading for stars when the opportunity presents itself.

These are considered stars?

The article carries a lot more weight if we do already have our GM though
Brock Aller, a former Cleveland Cavaliers executive, will be a high-ranking basketball official and the chief strategist for Knicks president Leon Rose, sources have told SNY. Details of Aller's title with the team are still being worked through.
The New York Daily News first reported the Knicks' interest in Aller, while SiriusXM NBA Radio first reported a deal between the two was close. A deal is expected to be completed within the next week or so.
Aller will help Rose navigate many different aspects of the job. Several league sources said Aller, Rose's first front office hire, will be one of the new Knick president's right-hand men.
He's expected to help Rose navigate the waters and strategize on how to build out the front office, coaching staff, and which player personnel moves to pursue. His responsibilities will not be limited to salary cap strategy, which is his forte.
Aller is highly respected in league circles. He was considered Dan Gilbert's close confidant and was instrumental in Cleveland's run to the 2016 NBA title. Known as a "capologist," Aller's savvy in that field led to key moves like Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith being traded from the Knicks to the Cavs in 2015.
Aller's hire doesn't necessarily mean that Rose will fire someone who is currently in the front office. However, it's unclear if there are other imminent front office hires coming.
Scott Perry is currently serving as GM and executive Allan Houston is a candidate to remain with the organization under Rose in some capacity.

He advocated for the Cavs to trade for JR Spliff and Iman Chumpert?

I mean, they did win it all?
But then they did give Shumpert a horrible contract. I really don't know much about him though

What it does say is that Rose wants someone that can finagle and work contracts under the cap so he can build quickly and possibly target multiple players at once. Not necessarily a bad thing if the goal is to basically build through acquisition of established talent.
New York obviously didn't land Russell or any other young star prior to the trade deadline (Russell was dealt to Minnesota; for what it's worth, one package for Russell under Mills that had support included Bobby Portis, Allonzo Trier and Frank Ntilikina).

book is a monster. his FG% is way better than it should be. really good rebounder and passer. offensively everything you want in an SG.
if i were gonna take a one-sided player... it'd be this guy.

“The active phone conversations for Indiana could be a sign of what’s to come this summer. Rival executives believe the Pacers will eventually break up their big man trio of All-Star Domantas Sabonis, Myles Turner and rookie Goga Bitadze. Turner is the name most rival executives believe will be traded, and the Cavaliers were among the teams who called to do due diligence on his availability before they landed Andre Drummond from Detroit.”
