The New York Knicks' focus over the next few weeks will be on free agency, and not on a replacement for departed team president Phil Jackson, league sources told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne.
General manager Steve Mills was leading the front office in talks with other teams on Wednesday, sources said.
The Knicks have been linked to Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri as a possible Jackson-replacement.
But with Ujiri in the midst of a recently signed five-year contract, league sources said it would be extremely difficult for the Knicks to pry him away as New York has been reluctant to part with any draft picks in recent years as it tries to build around young center Kristaps Porzingis.
