It almost feels as if the Knicks are conducting a clinical trial. I shouldn’t be joking about such a thing as the world’s smartest scientists are racing to find a vaccine for the coronavirus. But in much less important basketball terms, the Knicks are embarking on a study to learn the impact of Scott Perry on their everlasting franchise ills.
What happens when you put Scott Perry with Steve Mills? What happens when you take away Steve Mills, but keep Scott Perry? What will happen when you eliminate both Mills and Perry?
We will have to wait to learn the answer to that last question, as the Knicks announced earlier this week that they will exercise Scott Perry’s option to keep him as general manager of the team through the 2020-21 season.
