Why do the knicks always half way do everything. there's always a lingering assistant/gm/president/coach thats left over from the previous regime.

There's never a (ok lets clean house and start a clean slate)

I know perry was a puppet under mills, and mills was a puppet under phil.

Keeping a GM that has lost almost every trade he's ever made, or because he's just a nice respectable guy doesn't put us in a better situation.

The Knicks are 67-163 since he took over as general manager, and the team has not signed a single marquee free agent, despite being in the country’s largest media market and projecting strong signals that it would do so.

not to mention the largest amount of cap space this franchise has ever had at one point

Now you can blame that all on mills or the extension revolves around him being a yes man, either way I'm not very optimistic base on the work and results that i have seen of SCOTT PERRY over the years

His contract expired tomorrow unless we reupped it. You rather we had no GM? Leon respects the man.
Perry does not play, he is an executive.

It's an interstitial move. We already hired Aller and I'm sure Leon is looking at more people. It looks like Scott will be given the opportunity to keep what he kills. I have no problem with that.

Coach Cal is great at a program like Kentucky where his ability to recruit top level talent will win 90% of his games against college competition. His track record says that when he plays teams with similar, or even slightly inferior, talent levels he is routinely outcoached.

In the NBA, he'll have to face teams with equal or superior talent and he certainly hasn't proven his ability to outcoach or outscheme anyone on a regular basis. We saw that pattern during his first stint in the NBA and I've seen nothing that leads me to believe that much has changed in the intervening years.

Good points. The “one and done” era of bringing in heralded All american whose prime (and rightfully so) attention is one season in and then to the pros. Building teams with 19 year olds, some immature both physically and mentally with everyone in their ear might get old. Maybe he craves a shot at building some continued core and developing. Can he coach? I suppose its a fair question and his track record is mixed. So is Coach K. He too has the same year one and dones and some not all teams come together.

As for giving Perry a year to prove himself? I doubt that. Too many scenarios to ponder and speculate really to what they agreed on. All we have are track records and all I can see is Perry has been solid but we don’t know what’s his or on Mills.

Perry could not mend issues with melo or KP( the closes we had to stars), failed to land even an average PG, didn't make a single trade to make us a better team, the development of players has been a joke, our best players are one dimensional players that don't even compliment each other. He continues to go after players like Payton and Mario (his own draft busts), and he assisted in blowing 70 million dollars on fake ass players who came here for the money, interviewed 10 coaches and picked the worst out of the bunch (because he was cool with LBJ and Wade).

Putting both of them in lesser roles (like assistants) is a better solution if you want to talk continuity.

Drafting RJ 3rd in a 3 man draft was not that impressive, and drafting a shot blocking center in time where 90% of centers are perimeter orientated is basically "OK"

Crush you have some good points, but Leon is yet to address the media or fans and he's the president, Thats not a good look
