Schmeelk: Knicks’ New Management Now Has To Back Up Strong Words

Related Topics: The powers that be

The Knicks’ press conference on Monday introducing new general manager Scott Perry went about as well as it possibly could have.

The powers that be said a lot of smart things and it appears their general approach, plan, and strategy for the future are sound. Fans of this downtrodden franchise should have some hope.

Before reading the rest of this column please keep this caveat in mind: Monday was only words. The Knicks have won press conferences before. Donnie Walsh’s presser seemed like it brought much needed competence to the Garden. We know how that ended. Phil Jackson’s opening meeting with the media was a virtual celebration.
