According to a team executive, Knicks owner James Dolan is interested in hiring Kentucky coach John Calipari to run the front office and coach.

Calipari is represented by William Wesley, who works for Creative Artists Agency, Hollywood's most powerful entertainment agency. One of its many patrons is Chris Paul, who figures to be on the market within a matter of months.

Wesley also reps Mark Warkentien, current part-time Knicks scout and former Nuggets' vice president; it's felt he'd caddy for Calipari in the front office.
