Leon Rose named New York Knicks President of Basketball Operations [OFFICIAL pg 74]

Can Rose and Perry valuate draft talents? Probably not. And I don't expect them to have draft picks anyways.

Dolan must have been really pissed we didn’t sign anyone. Always thought it was fake that we didn’t want Kyrie and Durant.

The problem with signing players was never who our GM/President was. It was the moves they made and position they set up the team as. We need to worry about making savy moves and set the team up more then trying to swing for grand slams when nobody is even on base.

No.

Wes wouldn’t be GM.

I get what you mean, but don’t agree at all.

Media gag orders, insider cronyism, backstabbing disloyalty, and political maneuvering will still be business as usual @msg.

The only difference now is that in addition to Dolan, ROSE will also have direct economic and egoistic incentive to put his personal business above what’s best for the franchise.

They never committed to the rebuild before this anyway.

Pelinka gave up the whole farm for AD. They are good because Lebron went to LA and AD wanted to be there. It is NOT a blueprint that you could follow. Watch for trades like Bargnani type. Picks and youth for marginal improvements with no master plan. This is bad. Really really bad

Idk how you can spin this positively? What good will has this franchise built where they deserve the benefit of the doubt? This is an awful hire until proven otherwise.

Basically

Only thing you have is hope.

Other than that you turn into a mixed breed of Wingo & buzzardman’s baby boy.
