As much as it pains me to say it...I really do hope that the Knicks flourish under the leadership of Rose...for obvious reasons.

Re: Leon Rose of CAA nearing deal to make him new head of basketball ops- shams
Honestly I dont know how to feel about this.
Yes he checks off the box in terms of future free agency as he is well known in player circles.
But what about drafting ability? Trade negotiations? Management? Attention to personnel? Player Development?
We are constantly put in a position where we have to speculate how our front office will do instead of hiring someone with a proven track record that checks all the boxes...
This abusive relationship continues...?
