Something we’ve known for almost a month—Leon Rose will take over as New York Knicks president of basketball operations—was made official on Monday.
Initial reports of Rose’s hiring surfaced on Feb. 6, but due to the CAA agent’s extensive business ties and Dwyane Wade’s jersey retirement, the Knicks and Rose have held off on making his hiring officially official.
“We are pleased to welcome Leon to the New York Knicks as team president, and believe he is the right leader to build a winning organization for our fans,” said Knicks owner James Dolan.
