Read some speculation online that Mike Miller has a good chance of staying on as an assistant coach under a new ?flashier? head coach hired in the offseason. Results have been up and down, but I really like Miller as a part of this organization overall.
Well, RJ led all scorers in the Rising Stars game. He did also take the most shots, so that?s how that goes I guess.
Not really news. Perry is only there because no one was minding the store and unlike Miller who has a slim chance of being named the new head coach because he's done a creditable job, you can't say the same for Perry. Have to blame Mills more so than Perry but Perry is Mills guy and Rose is going to want his guy installed. I mentioned Chris Wallace and he's a candidate along with Rich Cho.hat means, in all likelihood, general manager Scott Perry will be looking for a new job, according to Steve Popper of Newsday.
“The first and most vital move for Rose is naming a general manager. That role is still occupied by Scott Perry, but he is not expected to survive the purge of the latest incarnation of the Knicks’ rebuilding plans,” Popper wrote. “Coach David Fizdale was ousted in December and team president Steve Mills followed last month. A source said Perry is not expected to last beyond his contract, which ends after this season.”

Perry doomed himself the moment he brought in his ORL guys. Mario and EP busted out in ORL and cost you a job, so why would you make it your first moves upon arrival at a new stop, to repeat your former mistakes. That showed me he was in over his head.
Plus, he got very little for future assets with a lot of vets that could’ve been dealt, from Voneleh to the cast of vets we have now.
Where was the bold move or fresh perspective? What did Scott bring to the table?
The argument could be made that he should’ve moved down after not getting a top 2 pick, and parlay that third pick into something bigger; Knox looks like an awful pick. He miscalculated the free agent landscape last summer to such a degree that he raised the bar of bafoon-ness,beyond the apex of Mt Everett, making the entire city - joke, the national punchline, where we all suffered in the face of derision.
Then there’s the KP trade. All in all, being that this was his what? Third stop, at least? To be this awful right out of the gate?
His saving grace is probably that he found MRob in the second round.
We are the number 1 DOOM organization in the NBA .. yeah, yeah WE are rebuilding again (3 years later) at the top of the organization looking for a new President (maybe Rose). It has become hard the past 20 seasons for owner Dolan to build a winning Knicks team having complete changes throughout the Knicks organization every 3 or 4 years.
Dolan should've stuck with Pat Riley in the 1990's !!!
100% agree with you on most of your points about Perry. Especially Super Mario and Payton.
I go back to the beginning with not signing D. Rose. This was a major mistake from the stand point of 'Who mentor your just draft PG'? Jarrett Jack, Seriously!!
How about tanking in the wrong draft(last year). To be fair, not only should he had traded back last year but also the year before(Knox at #9). Remember the #9 pick could have been a much higher pick had Horny no won those two games we should have lost. KP get hurt(that totally different story) and the F.O. doesn't march down to the coaches office and say 'don't try to win another game', PERIOD!! I think Knox was the right pick because Calipari knows talent... plus this was a C. Gaines pick not Perry/Mills. They kept Gaines there to help C. Robinson with the draft then showed him the door. Mills/Perry aren't smart enough to draft Knox and Robinson.
Good knowledgeable BB people will evaluate the talent on a team before making a decision on who stays or go. That will be Rose first test for being competent. LET ME GO ON RECORD NOW!! I don't see any knowledgeable BB(knows Talent) so far unless Calipari is hired. Even at that Calipari must be give the last word in drafting, FA and trades. Again I not on board with Rose because I see the same old stuff and that is trying to buy a team. I don't see them changing the image of this team, either. Let hope that I'm wrong but unless being cool now win BB games instead of talent and chemistry then nothing changed.
In the 2018 draft .. I wanted the Knicks to trade down to select Jaren Jackson Jr., or Marvin Bagley III.
Jaren Jackson Jr. had the best all-around B.ball IQ skills in college standing at 100%.
I was not interested in Trey or Doncic.
Knox is a work in progress, Knox performance were showing some good signs after Fizdale left, especially in the front-court lineup a long-side Portis, and MitchRob. The Knicks having Mook on the team was good for Knox, RJ, and clumsy Randle-Handle.
Wow! We Knick fans have to wait forever on whenever James Dolan feels like making the Knicks a .500 winning franchise .. This is the BIG APPLE! Either sell the team? Or hire (and draft) the right people whom winning percentage keep their jobs for SIX or more years.
Mills was not the right person for the job!
BUTT .. Firing Phil Jackson on the spot, then firing Mills on the spot .. without having a decent replacement to run a billion dollar franchise !!!
The reason why fans are saying "Sell the Team" !!!
