The Atlanta Hawks had a big shakeup in their front office this summer and a New York Knicks executive could be on his way to Atlanta to help shore things up.
Ian Begley of ESPN New York reports that Director of Player Personnel Mark Hughes is a candidate for the vacant general manager position.
Via Begley:
Hughes, a veteran executive with the organization since 2007, has been one of the key figures in the Knicks’ recent draft success, which includes Kristaps Porzingis, Tim Hardaway Jr., Channing Frye and Danilo Gallinari. The Knicks, of course, have made some poor picks in that span but have been largely successful in the draft.
