INDIANAPOLIS – On the same night the Knicks clinched their seventh consecutive losing season, the main star on their last winning team said Leon Rose will change things. All he needs is time.

Rose, a longtime player agent, is expected to take over as the Knicks' president of basketball operations in the coming days. Carmelo Anthony, one of Rose’s clients, believes the Knicks are in good hands.

“It’s an exciting time for the New York Knicks,” Anthony told Newsday after the Blazers lost to the Pacers on Thursday night.
