NY Knicks, NBA Trade Deadline (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
Approximately two weeks away from his first-ever NBA trade deadline as President of the NY Knicks, Leon Rose is playing with house money when it comes to fan capital.
Rose finds himself in a win-win situation.
By making only a few peripheral moves during last season’s free agency, drafting the steal of the draft in the NBA’s consensus 2nd best rookie, Immanuel Quickley, and hiring the right head coach, he has put the Knicks in playoff position well ahead of schedule.
Rose has avoided any major risk up to this point, and it appears to be paying off for him.
