Just laying the groundwork. Pre pre pre negotiations. But certainly not tampering
No listing formally of Gerson Rosas anywhere. Still Perrin and Zannin as assist GM. No GM listed.
Also nothing on Scott Perry next plans. Curious where he lands.
he came in 2017 into a turbulent time hired away (for a second round pick) From SAC were he was just a few months in as Assistant to Vlade Divac.
As many of you have read I rarely blame the GM exclusively as each team has its own agenda. Somtimes its the Team President or the owner that dictates the direction of the roster.
Perry came in and handled the Melo and KP situations very well.
Who knows whos "idea" it was to hire Fiz, or fire him. Whose idea to bring on Randle, etc. But in his 6 years his input was valued by Leon and at some point perhaps it was just time.
Was it mutual? Who knows. He is a class act and left the team in very good shape regardless of who drove the decisions.
Curious to see if he lands an executive role with a team or into the leagues office.
At the same time who is named GM as knicks. Its widely assumed Rosas is the man.

Gerson still has Knick's Senior Advisor listed in his Twitter bio. I know the rumors seemed to indicate he was sliding into Perry's spot, but who knows? A lot can change in a few months. Can't say I'm really invested either way. Leon is the team president and the buck stops with him.

I go by the official NBA listings. Twitter can be out of date as can Linkedin.
Rosas had his personal/marital/affair issues with minny, as reported exasperated by covid stress and new ownership transitioning. Never net the man but is basketball acumen has a good reputation.
I was sold after 2 seconds.
This tweet tore my rotator cuff.

Does the "Drake curse" apply to NBA players working out to his music?
Drake have any music that might help with shot selection?

I'm an Obi fan, but who reps Obi makes me wonder how much that was driving the Knicks decision. Passing up on Halliburton, maybe. Halliburton and Brunson? IDK about that. If true.
All FOs whiff on players. The optics of why in this situation, doesnt look good.
Leon is doing a good job overall. But if we go another season without a big trade, as well as a quick exit in the playoffs. Rose might be on the hot seat. I'm guessing he's safe for this season.
Obi has been a disappointment. Remember, they shut down the season due to covid and things stopped. \NBA draft was two weeks before came in oct. No visits, no workouts.
Haliburton went 14th. Not like the knicks were the only team to wiff on him.
Brunson three years ago was not the same. That deal would have been sweet.
Obi was national player of the year and may still thrive in another system.
Win some and lose some. Bottom line we got wiffed on the pick, but Brunson thrived here as a free agent.
To be fair, Haliburton also thrived after he left SAC in the right system.
