To that end, a source told the Daily News that Brock Aller — a capologist with the Cleveland Cavaliers — is a strong candidate to join the Knicks. Aller served as a personal assistant to Cavs owner Dan Gilbert for 10 years before a promotion in 2017 to senior director of basketball operations.

Before the NBA suspended the season last Wednesday after Utah Jazz All-Star center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus, the Knicks had a putrid record of 21-45.

If the season resumes, the Knicks will be in 12th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

New York fans have to go all the way back to the 2012-13 season to find the last Knicks team which had a winning record and made the playoffs. The franchise is a national joke at the moment under the ownership of James Dolan.

Knicks fans are praying Rose can save the team since he has so many connections in the league. Rose basically ran CAA for years.
