NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Well, that was fast.
Finding a replacement for fired Steve Mills figured to be a drawn-out process, but the New York Knicks have reportedly moved swiftly and are in the process of finalizing a deal with player agent Leon Rose to be their next team president.
Rose is currently employed by CAA, the same company Brodie Van Wagenen used to work for before he was hired by the New York Mets to be their general manager prior to last season. CAA creative consultant William Wesley is also under consideration to join the Knicks’ basketball operations.
