NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Knicks have reportedly reached an agreement with Scott Perry, the Sacramento Kings’ vice president of basketball operations, for their general manager job.
ESPN reported that the Kings granted permission to Perry to talk to the Knicks, a meeting that happened Thursday in New York. There is no agreement in place, but the Knicks are pursuing a deal to hire Perry, the report said.
Perry would report to Steve Mills, the Knicks’ current general manager who is expected to be promoted to president.
Sacramento just hired Perry, 57, in April, after he was fired by the Orlando Magic, for whom he served as assistant general manager for five years.
