The New York Knicks have extended the contract of general manager Scott Perry, who has been with the franchise since 2017.

SNY's Ian Begley reported that Perry's new deal is for “multiple” seasons.

Perry's tenure with the Knicks has already lasted longer than most people probably expected. Perry spent two years under former president Scott Mills (who was promoted following Phil Jackon's departure), yet the organization chose to retain him following the transition to the current administration.

Perry's signing of Julius Randle now looks brilliant since he made Second-Team All-NBA in 2020-21, but the contract was much-maligned during Randle's frustrating first season in New York. In 2020-21, Randle won the NBA's Most Improved Player of the Year Award and led the Knicks to a surprising top-four seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs.

Perry has worked in the front offices of the 2004 champion Detroit Pistons and the Seattle SuperSonics when they drafted Kevin Durant, along with the Orlando Magic and Sacramento Kings.

Under current president of basketball operations Leon Rose — who was hired in March 2020 — and executive vice president William Wesley, the Knicks rebuilt their culture and constructed a playoff team, largely thanks to the hiring of head coach Tom Thibodeau. Their draft picks have been hit (R.J. Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, Mitchell Robinson) and miss (Frank Ntilikina, Kevin Knox) during Perry's tenure.

All eyes will be on Rose, World Wide Wes, Perry, and the Knicks during the upcoming offseason. After spending last fall making marginal but prudent upgrades to the roster (Reggie Bullock, Nerlens Noel, Alec Burks), the Knicks — armed with $50 million in cap space, a cabinet of draft picks, and good young players — are primed to acquire a star and open the checkbook this summer.
