For all of his arrival’s fanfare, New York Knicks president Leon Rose has had a quiet offseason.
It’s the exact opposite of what long-suffering Knicks fans expected. Out was Steve Mills and in was Rose, the former CAA agent who once counted the great LeBron James as one of his clients. Together with his longtime associate, William “Worldwide” Wesley, Rose was finally the sign of a turning tide. New York basketball was back after two decades of struggles.
Early moves implied Rose meant business. Former NBA Coach of the Year Tom Thibodeau signed a five-year deal to take over the reins.
