Whew...Chip resurrecting the earthly remains (one of my fav Chipsterisms) of Elfrid "4 on 5" Payton...Kemba's not close to the answer and never was, but neither was Payton
https://nypost.com/2022/02/09/knicks-hire-gersson-rosas-as-consultant-ahead-of-nba-trade-deadline/
so this is what its come down to...hiring a FO guy some 24 hrs before the trade deadline...if bloomin' rose is so out of his depth then he should have hired someone like this when he first came on...and also isn't Perry supposed to be the experienced FO guy?
Rose, unless he pulls something exceptional out of his asshat in the next 24 is just another, in a long line of, pathetic Knicks poohbahs
Seems like a case of too many cooks.
Rose & WWWes are from the agent/biz side of the aisle.
Walt Perrin was a top collegiate talent evaulator for the Jazz, responsible for many fine draft picks, including Gordon Hayward and Rudy Gobert. He campaigned HARD for the Jazz to trade up with the Nuggets to pick Donovan Mitchell. Assuming he had some say, Obi, IQ, Grimes,
Brock Aller was a top capologist for the Cavs.
Scott Perry was kept on board.
A few obervations.
As per BoD [and me], I was all in for Haliburton at #8 two years ago. Good size, long arms and hands, very good defender, funky release but his threes go in, and he can rudder an offense...think he had like 17 assists against someone the other night.
Rose, as chief pooh bah, clearly had considerable say in picking Toppin.
I gather the thinking was that Julius would be offloaded last season, and Obi was his successor.
Funky to consider that Obi was a CAA Client, and correct me if I'm wrong, that Rose's son was Obi's agent.
WWWes had considerable say in the maneuvering and selection of IQ.
Thibs was hot to trot for both Grimes and McBride, pre-draft.
One our European scouts clearly had Rokas Jokubaitis on his radar.
Perry? Pre-free agency, he was lobbying hard for DeMar DeRozan, and while I like Fournier, and his long range shootintg skills, DeRozan is a more crafty vet presence, a better defender, and a deadly presence in the mid-range, both as a shooter and facilitator. He helped transform the Bulls culture.
Apparently the committe didn't think Lonzo Ball was worth 20 million a year. I beg to differ, even as a place holder, great size and handle, good defender, much improved as a three point shooter, and over the years has increased his forays into the paint and free throw efficiency.
One has to think that Thibs had considerable input on retaining Burks, Noel and Rose on 2+1 deals. Fournier? Hard to say. Was considerable noise for offense. Gotta believe Thibs wanted to retain Bullock.
Kemba? That feels like Rose. Show biz, local boy makes good.
Hey, ain't gonna front...I was excited by the signing.
It didn't work out, and now we have that 2 year contract.
If your standard for judgement is Rose pulling something out of his ass in the next 24 hours, well, I think you are going to be dissappointed.
TO BE A KNICKS FAN IS TO SUFFER.
