The past 24 hours have been a whirl-wind for the New York Knicks. From firing Steve Mills to hundreds of trade rumors there was never a boring second in the Big Apple. Now agent Leon Rose of Creative Artists Agency is set to become the next President of Basketball Operations for the Knicks.
Rose is an experienced and well-respected agent who represented players such as Lebron James and Carmelo Anthony. He currently represents young stars Karl-Anthony Towns and Devin Booker.
Now the question remains, can Leon Rose save the Knicks?
“His strength is his interconnections with every element of basketball — shoe companies, general managers, players,” one person familiar with Rose’s credentials said according to the New York Post.
