The Knicks will keep roster decision-maker Scott Perry next season. Here’s New York Newsday reporting:
The Leon Rose era will begin with a familiar face: The Knicks have decided to retain Scott Perry as general manager.
They confirmed that Perry will remain with a statement from Rose, the new team president.
“Scott is a well-respected basketball executive who I have known for more than 20 years, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with him as we look to build a winning team in New York,” Rose said.
While the season remains in limbo right now because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Knicks needed to make a decision on Perry because of a mutual option set to trigger on May 1.
The Knicks roster will likely undergo huge changes in the next offseason. Perry’s main goal at this point is to find long-term building blocks, and to avoid giving superstar-level free agent contracts to players who are not superstars.
