Knicks president Steve Mills said new GM Scott Perry would be able to add people to the front office, and he’s close to doing just that.
The Knicks are set to bring back former Clippers executive Gerald Madkins to be their assistant general manager, a league source said. Madkins held the same title with the Clippers. ESPN first reported that Madkins was leaving the Clippers to join the Knicks.
Madkins, a former Knicks scout, worked with Perry for one season with the Seattle SuperSonics (which became the Oklahoma City Thunder). Perry was the assistant general manager and Madkins the director of West Coast scouting in 2007-08.
