I think we have most of the brains we need via the other hires, and Rose will be making the decisions. Really we just need some young, up and coming smart guy who can negotiate AND is charismatic enough to be the face for the media. It's painful watching Rose and Thibs at press conferences!

We need a young visionary who is also familiar with the day to day GM duties. With that said, I can't see Sacto going backwards. They have a young assistant GM already there. His name escapes me right now but I doubt they bring Perry back.

The reason why scott perry came here to nyc is to be closer to his daughter who lives in nyc. I don't see him leaving nyc this year plus he will make more money here for 1 year in nyc then in a small market in sac town. There is reason why walt perrin left utah lot small markets couldn't afford paying there staff because of covid and other reason.

Thats a small part of the reason he came here, the MONEY, the TITLE, the TOWN is the main reason. He has been in an assistant role is entire career, so the chance of being the actual GM in the biggest market..NO BRAINER.

I would be very happy for us and him if he was to land that GIG, he's on a one yr deal in NY, it would be very silly for him to pass that up and end up getting the boot in NY

This is the Rose show. So all below him have specific roles.
A young visionary builds his base from the franchise he came from. Fans want that to be replicated.
When Nets hired marks it was a long range goal to rebuild the asset base after what they did previously.
Dumars will set the franchise on a course that the idiot Divac never conceived. BTW, I thought Divac was a hold over from previous owner? IN any even the link is Perry worked under Dumars in Detroit a long time ago and of course Divac had him as his assistant for just 4 months.
That Perry was to be kept on for one year are for reasons we don’t know. His contract was tied to Mills. With plenty of time for the draft in Oct. its a different timetable. We don’t know if dumars will ask for permission to talk which forces Leon to either extend his contract or set him free.
Fans wants fresh blood from a successful franchise to replicate that here while we some how move past Perry to wipe clean the Mills era and magic things will happen.
Is it logical for Rose to want an inexperienced no. 2 person in the Role to him given he himself is new as a team president? WOuld Rose want a savvy negotiator who gets on good with other GM’s? That Perry has experience doe that not build upon a knowledge base?
Fans like 1248 have little imagination that some execs in assistant roles are not responsible for the success or failure of the franchise because we don’t know the level of input they contributed nor if it was rejected by their boss and owner. If Leon wants him thats good enough for me. For all we know Leon has his sights set on someone and thats all part of the plan but for now Perry is of value.
Just because MIlls hired him does not indict his career. Since we are not privy to much seems a bit presumptuous to imply.

Walt Perrin is too old. If it's internal, Brock Aller.

What about the current Assistant GM, Zannin? Not I doubt he is sexy enough for 1248 but thats his current position. Zannin was "Kobe" approved.

Lot's of people think Perry is on the hotseat, just a one year to get thru the draft. Perry is a Wes guy according to the GQ article about WWW. So it's no suprise Leon kept him onboard. It seems like Leon and Co. are also continuing what Perry started, as stated in his introductory press conference. To rebuild from the draft, develop the youth. Seems like that's the direction the Knicks are going (Thank God). Perry's draft record isn't terrible with the Knicks. All depends on Knox, how he turns out. The other picks are great. Mitch in 2nd. RJ (no brainer at 3). And Iggy in 2nd who tore up the G League. (Another unfair criticism of him because he obviously used the G League for Iggy. The question if the G League will build up or knock down the confidence of a lottery pick is a valid question.) He also got the Knicks in a great place capwise. Perry Stuck to the Plan and traded Morris instead of building around him. He stocked up draft picks. There are valid criticisms. He was involved in the KP trade, but he came into a mess already. He built a poor roster but all the 3 pt snipers he brought in forgot how to shoot and space the floor (Ellington, Portis, Bullok.) Perry's had his good and bad but I think he's around for the long haul based on his relationship with World Wide Wes.

Good post!! I;m not the biggest Perry supporter but he gets a lot of unfair criticism. Once Mills was fired, Perry moved Morris for a pick which is an indication of his intentions to build this franchise through the draft, etc. Just before Mills was fired, there were rumors of us offering draft picks and youth for Russell and or Rozier. I think Perry made the right decision.

The KP trade was a disaster but has you mentioned, KP's relationship with the franchise was deteriorating before Perry came on board.

You fire Perry if he created the toxic environment that contributed to the KP divorce. Do we know if Perry wanted Fiz over Bud?
Now, what is the qualifier to firing a GM? I can see if he is driving the process and owner decides its going nowhere and confidence is lost.
Perry to SAC is a media fabrication “assumptive” based on his association with Dumars that goes back 20 years and his short stint there. Is that a valid one? Stay tuned!
