After a surprising and successful season, the Knicks rewarded general manager Scott Perry with a multiyear extension.
Perry was one of the few holdovers from the prior regime when Leon Rose took over as team president last year, remaining in place on a one-year extension to help Rose, who he had a long history with from Rose’s time as an agent. The extension provided an opportunity for the two to work together and Perry helped guide the team to a 41-31 record and a No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference — success that was built mostly on pieces that Perry had helped assemble.
