Scott Perry, the Knicks general manager since 2017, who has contributed to New York’s surprising success this season, should touch up a cool contract with the Big Apple franchise: you don’t change a winning team.
Arrived in 2017 from the Kings (the guy chained the victorious franchises what), Scott Perry brought two league titles to the Knicks since failed to get Zion Williamson, Kyrie Irving or Kevin Durant, but he was able to help NY settle cleanly in fourth place in the Eastern Conference. Brian Windhorst fromESPN hinted heavily on her podcast with Ramona Shelburne that GM would soon be extended by the New York franchise:
BW: “Scott Perry only got a one-year extension. “
RS: “I think someone should hire him. “
BW: “I’ll be in trouble saying that but I hear Scott Perry will stay with the Knicks longer. He will stay there. I hear it’s going to happen. “
The one who convinced Julius Randle to land in the Big Apple was extended for a year in April 2020 by new president Leon Rose. He was not coming out of a superb performance and big changes were expected within the franchise, but they preferred continuity for the GM position. Leon Rose, who arrived in March 2020, chose to trust him and they managed to transform the Knicks into a respectable team, a real feat when you know where they come from. The arrival of Derrick Rose in the middle of the season, that of Julius Randle at the Free Agency 2019, the Draft of RJ Barrett and even the selection of Immanuel Quickley, the arrival of Tom Thibodeau, the non-trade of Frank Ntilikina ! Scott thus succeeded, under the presidency of Leon Rose, to set up a competitive group without destroying the future of the franchise (drafts picks, cap space). Well done, it deserves a little extension before celebrating the arrival of the Larry O’Brien trophy.
Scott Perry is one of the artisans who have helped get the Knicks back on track this season. The senior leaders of New York will therefore continue to put a small note on him.
