Houston is a good guy and has paid his dues for years....Makes sense especially when you consider his relationship with Dolan....I wouldn't have a problem with giving him a shot if for some reason Rose doesn't want to retain Perry.
Don’t love or hate it. The problem would be Dolans’ loyalty.
Feels like Dolan hired a teenage Knicks fan as team president. If the front office and coaching staff is going to be stocked with ex-players, ex-Knick coaches.
Is Houston the "new Mills" now? We going to see him stick around the FO, while one exec after another goes in and out the door?
Miller and Perry are the two employees who have made a good case to stay. They will likely be the first two fired by Rose, and replaced with who, Houston? Jackson? Sentimental BS, if this is the route we're taking.
I can't believe I read that article. This is the entirety of what was mentioned about Allan. Emerged as a candidate. EMERGED? POSSIBLE CANDIDATE? He has been an emerged candidate the entire time he has been there so nothing has changed since an hour ago, a day ago, a week ago, a month ago, a year ago, several years ago lol
As Leon Rose prepares for his imminent takeover, Garden constant Allan Houston has emerged as a candidate for a front office promotion, a league source told the Daily News. The former All-Star, 48, is currently the GM of the G-League affiliate in Westchester and has been a Knicks executive since 2008, surviving multiple regime changes while being groomed for a larger role. He also served as the Knicks assistant GM before and during Phil Jackson’s tenure.
Someone is desperate to write content and ran out of ideas and so let's throw shit at a wall so that shit can hit the wall, and now might as well write about shit on a wall

My preference is for Perry to stay on as the GM. The fact that he moved Morris for a pick instead of chasing after Russell or Rozier shows that Perry has a long term plan to rebuild which is much needed for this franchise. With that said, with a new Prez coming on board, more than likely he will want to make his own hire. If thats the case I wouldn't have too much of a problem with Houston. Not so much that he's a former Knick or a sentimental pick, but he's put in the work for years, in Westchester and with the organization. Houston is the only former Knick I can tolerate....For the record, I want no parts of Jackson, Van Gundy or Thibs!!!
You raise a good point about Houston being the new Mills, a Dolan guy, which is why Houston may be a candidate. it is a scary thought, to extent but Houston just may be the guy for the job.
if we're picking Houston to replace Perry, it just seems like this hire of Rose is not really about bringing new blood as it is a continuing of the instafix with Dolan yes men.

This. I am not opposed to Houston but this could have been done without Rose and the branding guy. Houston was a part of the team that hired Miller to host Westchester. Hopefully if he is a part of the team that decides if he stays.
I don’t an “Emerging” opinion.

LOL This is totally right. They didn't even announce the first guy to make decisions. He's certainly holding his cards to his chest. Candidates
But what are you gonna do? If you make the rumor candidates go thru primaries....
We'd have nothing to read. We need our fix.

How has Perry made a good case to stay, his last 10 yrs in a FO position has been a disaster...no playoffs
He hasn't been part of a winning FO since 2004 where he had a minor role...and his draft record (if he had any say in the matter) as been suspect at best

that would seem to trump Houston's track record of involvement with this franchise!
I hope this is as bogus as it appears. I want the Knicks to clean house of anyone that Dolan has kept around over the years for really no legitimate purpose. I don't want more bullshit like 'Phil, you are going to groom Steve Mills'

100%. Just more of the same
I am hoping that they are talking about the old trick of promoting someone to an irrelevant position/with fancy title
otherwise i will be very sad
Wow!:
Ultimateknicks.com site owners Martin and Andrew have emerged as front runners for the role of new Knicks GM. Garden sources say that the long suffering pair, who once added a D’Antoni emoji option to their site, are strongly linked to new president Rose. Rose has represented many players over the years including Carmelo Anthony and JR Smith. Anthony and Smith played for the Knicks, and Martin and Andrew run a site dedicated to the Knicks. “They want it as badly as they wanted Jessica Alba. They can smell it” said a source close to the pair.

I heard they could bring in Blackexec as an advisor. He has connections to numerous posters on the site and he played pickup basketball with current Knick Mitchell Robinson.

And the reality of the matter is we all know this would be a huge upgrade over prior business as usual
