I’m intrigued, I know he has a lot of connections.

It worked out so well the first time we brought him around...

LOL at Knicks for not going after a basketball person and instead make another hire for relationships. This will blow in our face big time. These dudes would have no idea how to properly construct a team. Forget about youth movement. Forget about picks. We are going the old school trade for washed up veterans way of building

This is all part of the brand image rebuild. Rose is someone respected among the basketball community and has strong relationships with current and upcoming stars. Not a bad hire if the agent route is where they were going. Guess this means we are trading Morris for one of his clients....Kyle Kuzma.

I wonder if this is all Stouts doing in order to spruce up the Knick image

It screams that winning isnt a priority.

It never has been.

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...?

this is a coin toss. it can work if they bring in elite consultation. bob myers had jerry west as an advisor

Leon Rose is well educated went to law school and is an attorney, seems well respected around the league and has a long list of clients. This could be really good.

I’ll say this at least... Dolan not controlling Leon or Wes.

This is either going to end up being really good or really bad... There is no in between with a move like this. I hope you all are ready.

Dolan really took the Durant "cool" comment to heart.

Hold on....wait when a second, was this around like 2006/2007?

You’d have to give me a reminder.

If you don't think Dolan's been talking to these people for months I've got a bridge to sell you lol.

As soon as Fiz was fired the writing was on the wall

What’s the rush for? It’s not like Leon wasn’t going to be there by the off-season.
