Leon Rose: no one deserves a winner more than Knicks fans
The Knicks president hopes to sign the new coach by mid or late July
New York Knicks president Leon Rose talks with MSG’s Mike Breen about a number of topics, including the 2020 NBA Draft, the team’s head coaching search, and the fans.
On the Draft:
“This draft, there’s a couple guys that might stand out and after that there’s a lot of equality,” Rose said. “A lot of guys who are close with different skill sets, different positives, different negatives. Each scout, there’s varying opinions, more varying opinions than there has been in past years”
On the next head coach:
“We want to find the right leader that can develop our young players, as well as hold everyone accountable and take us from development to becoming a perennial winner, We also want somebody that we think will be collaborative with the front office and someone that, when you’re in that huddle and you’re looking in that coach’s eyes, every player that’s looking at him knows that that person is driving the ship and going to get the job done.”
On the Knicks’ fan:
“No one deserves a winner more than Knicks fans. I know it’s been tough but my pledge is — we’re going to work tirelessly, we’re going to do business, we’re going to be prudent and we’re going to be in play in every aspect — the draft, trades, free agency. And we’re going to build this the right way to bring you a winner.”
