Scott Perry's Future With Knicks Not Guaranteed But Safe For Now

[RealGM Wiretap]

The long-term future of Scott Perry as general manager of the New York Knicks is not guaranteed, but is considered safe for now after the team hired Brock Aller.

Perry's contract with the Knicks is up June 30th.

"The impression is Leon will do his due diligence," said one source.

For now, Perry is preparing for the draft and is expected to run it for the Knicks whenever the event takes place. The urgency for the Knicks to make a chance is lessened due to the new logistics amid COVID-19.

“The shutdown may have helped everyone — at least temporarily,’’ one NBA source connected to the Knicks said.

Foregone conclusion that Perry goes -- no way you can retain his services after he failed miserably in free agency to acquire let alone attract any level of quality talent. With the exception of Kevin Knox, he has drafted well -- RJ Barrett & uncovering Mitchell Robinson in the 2nd round.

Given that the Knicks are flush with cap space & multiple first round picks ... Leon Rose selection of a high quality GM will determine the fate of the franchise for the major part of this decade.
