The New York Knicks will retain Scott Perry as general manager on a one-year deal.

“Scott is a well-respected basketball executive who I have known for more than 20 years, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with him as we look to build a winning team in New York," Leon Rose said.

The Knicks needed to make a decision on Perry with a mutual option set to trigger on May 1st.

Perry has a long relationship with Rose and this new deal allows both parties to evaluate the partnership before agreeing to a long-term deal.

The Knicks parted ways with Steve Mills as team president before the trade deadline.

The New York Knicks' and Brooklyn Nets' practice facilities will remain closed due to local ordinances after the NBA announced that certain teams will be allowed to open up facilities for individual workouts on May 1st.

Adam Silver could possibly receive a waiver from New York governor Andrew Cuomo for Nets and Knicks players.

A Knicks spokesperson would not confirm if their Tarrytown facility was closed. 

With Knicks players sheltering across the country, "at least a couple" of players are weary of returning to New York in mid-May, sources told Marc Berman of the New York Post.

The long-term future of Scott Perry as general manager of the New York Knicks is not guaranteed, but is considered safe for now after the team hired Brock Aller.

Perry's contract with the Knicks is up June 30th.

"The impression is Leon will do his due diligence," said one source.

For now, Perry is preparing for the draft and is expected to run it for the Knicks whenever the event takes place. The urgency for the Knicks to make a chance is lessened due to the new logistics amid COVID-19.

“The shutdown may have helped everyone — at least temporarily,’’ one NBA source connected to the Knicks said.

Tom Thibodeau is believed to solely be a candidate for the head coaching job of the New York Knicks.

Thibodeau and Leon Rose have been close for two decades.

The Brooklyn Nets also have a coaching vacancy to fill, but Thibodeau is only linked with the Knicks at this juncture.

James Dolan has fully recovered from COVID-19 and will donate plasma for medical research.

Antibody tests are seen as a key in potentially developing treatment for the virus. Individuals who recovered from the virus must have a high volume of antibodies to become a donor.

Dolan had mild symptoms of the virus, including a loss of smell. 

MSG also sent an internal email on Monday informing qualified employees that they will be paid through May 31st. 

Members of the New York Knicks front office believe that they are in a good position to trade for a disgruntled star due to their assets.

"It's the best path for us," a front office member told Ian Begley of SNY.

The Knicks currently have seven first-round picks over the next four draft, alongside a young core including RJ Barrett and Mitchell Robinson.

The team also has cap flexibility due to signing players to short-term contracts.

The desire to hold onto their assets influenced how they operated in the buildup to the 2020 trade deadline. The Knicks' only move was in trading Marcus Morris to the Clippers for Moe Harkless, a 2020 first-round pick, and a 2021 second-round pick. 

The New York Knicks are moving closer to hiring Brock Aller as their new capologist.

Aller currently works for the front office of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Knicks hired Leon Rose to run their front office earlier this offseason.

Agent Rich Paul discussed the potential of his new client Mitchell Robinson, saying that Robinson is still maturing and learning the game.

“His growth comes with understanding how to play the game at this level. ... It’s a lot of things to learn. Once he’s able to learn those things, he’ll then be in position to showcase other talents he has. He can take the outside shot, put the ball on the floor, post. You don’t want to rush into that. You have to understand the details of the game first," Paul told Marc Berman of the New York Post.

Robinson, who signed with Paul in February, is on his fifth agent of his career.

Paul added that he can also help Robinson off the floor.

“I felt like I can help him. A lot of times young players, they just don’t know. As an agent — and I don’t like the word — you get the perception that it’s all about money. And it’s not all about that. You have a unique opportunity to help someone build great habits on and off the basketball floor. A lot of times they’re in situations they can’t control, the economic environment they grew up in."

Leon Rose has yet to make a decision over the future of Kevin Knox, league sources told Marc Berman of the New York Post.

Rose reportedly "doesn’t know what to make of Knox," and is still unsure of whether the 20-year-old has a future with the team.

One of Rose's biggest regrets over the suspension of the season was not being able to get a closer look at Knox.

Knox is averaging 6.4 points and 2.8 rebounds on the season.

Cole Anthony discussed his love for the New York Knicks, adding that he could potentially fill a role with the team as a guard. 

“It would be pretty cool. I was a fan for a good amount of time. I do like the Knicks. I think they definitely can use a guard, a good scoring point guard. If that happens, it would be pretty cool to play in front of my little brother," Anthony told The Post in an interview. 

Anthony, who is from New York City, declared for the draft on Friday and is projected to be a lottery pick.

Anthony averaged 18.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists last season at UNC.

He added that he is more focused on finding a good situation than how high he is drafted.

“What pick you’re drafted at doesn’t mean anything. I’d rather be drafted 17th in a really good situation for myself, then go seventh in a terrible situation for myself where I’m behind two other lead guards. It’s really all about fit.”
