Re: William Wesley Was 'Driving Force' In Knicks Replacing Glen Grunwald With Steve Mills In 2013

[RealGM Wiretap]

William "World Wide Wes" Wesley has reportedly been an influential figure within the New York Knicks organization for 15 years, sources told Marc Berman of the New York Post.

Wesley, who was recently hired as an executive vice president for the Knicks, was the "driving force" behind the team replacing Glen Grunwald with Steve Mills as GM in 2013.

Wesley and Leon Rose have a close relationship from their time with CAA.

“MSG and CAA have been in bed for years. This shouldn’t be surprising," a source told The Post in February when Rose was hired by the Knicks.

Sources also added that Wesley likes Jason Kidd as the Knicks search for a new head coach.

The Knicks won 54 games In 2012-13 with Grunwald pulling the strings. Dolan, in typical Dolan fashion takes advice from some clown outside the organization, fires GG and then later declares that they were serious contenders for the 2014 title. They won 37 games that season and they haven’t won more than 31 games since then.

But sure Dolan, keep taking WWW’s advice. It seems to be working out great.
