Knicks hire former Denver Nuggets GM Mark Warkentien as consultant

From Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports:
In a move that undoubtedly has roots in the pursuit of Carmelo Anthony, New York Knicks president Donnie Walsh has reached an agreement with former Denver Nuggets general manager Mark Warkentien to join the Knicks as a high-level consultant, league sources told Yahoo! Sports on Sunday.
The hiring of Warkentien is expected to be a prelude to a larger and more specific front-office role in the future, but that’s still an issue to be worked out. As the Knicks work to acquire Anthony through a trade this season or in free agency this summer, there’s no minimizing Warkentien’s institutional knowledge of the Nuggets organization and ownership, as well as a strong relationship with Anthony.
Regarding the hiring, Carmelo Anthony remarked, “As far as I’m concerned that’s a great addition to their organization.”
Expect Warkentien to play a role in the Knicks’ pursuit of Carmelo Anthony, whether that be in a trade this year or via free agency this summer.
