The firing of Portland Trail Blazers president of basketball operations and general manager Neil Olshey has opened up one of the league’s dream jobs — constructing a championship roster around Damian Lillard’s final prime years.
New York Knicks general manager Scott Perry is expected to get strong consideration, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports.
Perry has a longstanding relationship with current Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups. Perry was a Pistons front office executive when Billups won his only NBA championship in 2004.
When Perry was with the Orlando Magic, he recruited Billups to become Frank Vogel’s top assistant in 2016.
