Knicks fans, I can practically hear the fatigue and trepidation in your tweets.

What the heck did the team do now? Instead of prying pedigreed team-builder Masai Ujiri out of Toronto, the Knicks reportedly are on the verge of handing the keys to the castle over to a sports agent with zero experience running a team.

Believe me, I understand your concern. Yet, as much as I too wanted an executive with a proven track record like Ujiri to come to the Knicks, I have to say that the hiring of Leon Rose should solve the team’s second-biggest problem.
