The New York Knicks will hire Leon Rose as President of Basketball Operations.

Ian Begley reports that William Wesley is under consideration to have a role with the Knicks. Rose and Wesley are longtime associates.

Wes has massive connects all over

omg like you know. WE are going to have a $150mm payroll full of CAA 30 year old retreads, make the 7th seed and amoebas like you will be dancing in the streets talking about winning culture

what was the other option you wanted?

Give up all our draft picks to the raptors?

I'm very familiar with wes because i did my research on him yrs ago, when all the big name players and rappers like Jay z, Drake, Kanye praise the hell out of him, I wanted to know who he was

Go do your homework on Wes he is not a joke

Knicks1248, how can you hate Mills so much and be OK with this move? These are the guys responsible for pushing Mills on us in the first place.

(Donnie Walsh) resigned three years later, fed up with the incessant meddling by owner James L. Dolan and his advisers, including CAA (Creative Artists Agency) and the ubiquitous power broker William Wesley.

Since then, CAA has only dug its tentacles deeper. The agency represents Carmelo Anthony, J.R. Smith, coach Mike Woodson, assistant general manager Allan Houston and director of player personnel Mark Warkentien. Wesley played a role in Mills’ hiring last fall.

I would have preferred someone who knew the sport better.. maybe played in high school or something. I was against using picks to hire ANY one and I posted that.

Fingers crossed he builds a good team. I wont hate until. That being said this looks really stupid on the surface.

Isiah was really connected too

Rose grew up in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and attended Cherry Hill High School East, where he played basketball and was later inducted into the school's hall of fame

Because the organization is owned by a petulant, impatient man-child.

He has a proven track record of negotiating great deals.

For his players. Now try that from an team perspective it’s gonna be a whole lot different to negotiate a fair deal. Another bad hire the old lets use the connections game. It has never worked out for the Knicks.

He knows how to negotiate. He knows how the game is played. He's an insider. He has contacts all over.

I'm giving him a chance. You guys are doing the media thing "oh this is so the knicks.... oh dolan...."

I’m at the point where I know the organization top to bottom. He can negotiate that is fine but what does he know about team building? Is he going to leave that up to the GM and not meddle we have Dolan for that. Let see wTF happens I’m open for whatever they do. I was hoping for proven.

This is truly soul crushing...why can't we hire people with proven track records...it's almost like Dolan can't thrive without the dysfunction. It's like he isn't learning...past experiences get purged every year.
