On the night of this year's NBA Draft, every team in the NBA skipped over Arizona's Allonzo Trier, but Knicks GM Scott Perry called him that night with a message. Big win.”On Thursday, Trier took the next step in his journey when the Knicks announced they had signed Trier to a two-year deal that replaces his Two-Way Contract. The Trier deal is the latest shrewd move by Perry, who came aboard as the Knicks GM in 2017 as the franchise moved to repeal and replace the failed Phil Jackson Era. If you look back across the last two NBA Drafts, few NBA executives can rival what Perry has accomplished. I think I’ve said it before, he’s our most complete player.”The post-Phil Jackson Knicks have made some missteps, for sure.
