BA executive career[edit]
Perry was hired as a front office executive for the Detroit Pistons by President Joe Dumars in June 2000. As a member of their executive team, Perry assisted in building a roster that went to six Eastern Conference Finals appearances (2003-2008), two Eastern Conference Championships (2004, 2005) and the 2004 NBA Championship.
Afterward, Perry served as the assistant general manager for the Seattle SuperSonics (now Oklahoma City Thunder) for one season (200708).[3] He was part of the front office staff that drafted Kevin Durant to the Sonics/Thunder in the first round with the second overall pick. He then returned to the Pistons to become vice president of basketball operations from 2008 to 2012.[2]
On June 25, 2012, Perry was hired by Orlando Magic General Manager Rob Hennigan to become Hennigan's vice president and assistant general manager.[1] ESPN basketball analyst and former NBA player Chauncey Billups spoke highly of Perry as the assistant General Manager of the Magic, saying, "I love Scott Perry in the front office."[4][5]
In his time in Orlando, Perry helped draft Victor Oladipo (2013), Aaron Gordon and Elfrid Payton (2014), and Mario Hezonja (2015) in Orlando.
On April 21, 2017 Perry was hired to be the Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations for the Sacramento Kings.

On April 21, 2017 Perry was hired to be the Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations for the Sacramento Kings.
The Kings hired Perry, who has 17 NBA seasons of front office experience with the Detroit Pistons, Seattle SuperSonics and Orlando Magic, on April 21. The former Wayne State guard previously served as vice president with the Pistons for four seasons and with the Magic for the past five before being relieved of his duties in April. The former Eastern Kentucky head basketball coach was in the Pistons front office when they advanced to six consecutive Eastern Conference finals and won an NBA championship in 2004. Perry also served as the SuperSonics assistant general manager during the 2007-08 season and was on the staff that drafted Kevin Durant second overall in 2007.
While Divac remains in his role as general manager, Perry will have a strong influence on basketball personnel decisions. The first major task for Perry with the Kings will be the heralded 2017 NBA draft. This draft is expected to be one of the best in years, with such prospects as Washington guard Markelle Fultz, Kentucky guard DeAaron Fox, UCLA guard Lonzo Ball and Kansas swingman Josh Jackson.
This is a very promising draft. There could be some very good young talent in this draft. But as the case is with many drafts, so much of it depends on where certain players end up and how they fit in their respective environment to maximize their growth and development, Perry said.
Its complicated, but the Kings will likely have two lottery selections in the NBA draft on June 22. Sacramento has its own pick with the eighth-best odds for the first selection at 2.8 percent, but if the selection is higher than the Philadelphia 76ers, then the latter has the right to swap per a past trade. The Kings also have the New Orleans Pelicans selection via the Cousins trade if its outside the top three protected picks. Link - ( New Window )
Fox, Jackson, Giles (lottery ticket), Mason III, great draft. Hill contract was a value addition. Not sure how much was Perry but the Kings off-season has been very solid.
Perry is well regarded around the league from what I've heard. But he just got to Sacramento. Pretty strange move but I guess because it's a promotion he would be able to leave. It still blows having Mills on top though. Rumors were Masaii, Presti, Griffin and now this?
I know someone who use to work for the Knicks. He described Houston's reputation as pretty poor. Was not impressive at all in his basketball acumen. His words were a lot harsher but I'll leave it at that. As others have mentioned, look how long he's worked there and never got a sniff for an interview with another team. I mean Mark Hughes, who is seemingly under Houston on the power tree, has garnered interest and interviews from other teams. Tells you everything.
Can't Houston just join LJ and Starks as "ambassadors" for the Knicks?
was undermined and he wasn't able to follow his vision. Nobody ever is when it comes to the Knicks. It's a mess.
Don't feel bad for Phil though, he was paid a billion dollars to be the fall guy.
Starting to think the same thing. The pattern is undeniable. Good basketball players and minds come to MSG to die. Not saying Phil was ever a great exec or GM but the guy knows NBA hoops. Don't tell me he doesn't know how to build a winner. Yet he comes here and turns into a fucking cranky pumpkin.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Nuke it from orbit. Tell KP to go swimming in Latvia for a week and then napalm and nuke that fucking place.

I dont think he was undermined. Just a guess though. I think Rosen or another crony would have leaked that. They may do so now, but at this point I'd consider it just opportunistic spin.
language in the contract probably issued a gag order. No former GM or coach ever blasts Dolan. Never.
Until they sweep out from Mills on down and replace him with the likes of a Griffin or a Dumars, or a Bird...they will remain a very bad joke across all of professional sports.
New York being the mecca of Basketball should dictate that the league intervene to have a properly run organization in this city!

Melo trade update: despite thoughts Ryan Anderson is the hold up. I'm told the teams are trying to find a home for big man Myers Leonard.

Well, if true, that at least relieves me a bit in that it shows we are resistant to bringing Leonard here.
Why are they trying to force this trade for Carmelo ?
Are the Knicks are willing to settle for other teams spare parts.
We need a superior scorer for Carmelo, Or No Deal !!
If that is not available , its not a fair trade.
Carmelo has recently had a 62 Point game, maybe he can do it again.
Phil is gone now, he created serious tension and traded away players who have been active, in the Playoffs and Championships with other teams.
Lets play this season with what we have and continue to make adjustments.

If Knicks hire Scott Perry as GM it'd be one of their smartest moves in a long time. Well respected with a great eye for talent

Deal between Kings VP Scott Perry & Knicks for vacant NY GM gig is not done but heading that way. Perry one of most respected execs in game.
While CSKA Moscow made contact with Sergio Rodriguez in order to lure him back to Europe, El Chacho wants to stay in the NBA and he is negotiating a new three-year deal with the Sixers.
4 hours ago C via EuroHoops.net
The two sides are near a deal, Rodriguez is expected to get around $4 million per season, which is almost a raise compared to his initial $8 million contract for the 2016-17 season. Almost half of those money went to Real Madrid for the buy out of the player and now the Spanish point guard is going to get a multiyear deal without having any other financial obligiation to the Spanish powerhouse.

Yup. Lost Caruso and Sergio the same day and Rondo apparently "in talks" with the Pelicans.
you would think, but they just dropped $71 million on a shooting guard they didn't need while they were talking to Griffin. Nothing would shock me at this point.
how garbage Derrick Rose is. He's still available with the likes of Deron Williams, Ty Lawson, Brandon Jennings. He's met with 2 teams, one of which already passed.

it's almost as if those of us who trashed him all last season actually were right about him!
Perry was hired only three months ago as the front office's No. 2 to Kings GM Vlade Divac. That took place days after Perry was dismissed as the Orlando Magic's assistant GM.
Perry played a part in selecting Kentucky point guard De'Aaron Fox with the No. 5 overall pick and making a draft-day trade to move back and draft twice more in the first round, selecting North Carolina's Justin Jackson.
In free agency, the Kings signed veterans George Hill, Vince Carter and Zach Randolph.
Perry has a front-office history that includes stops in Seattle, Oklahoma City, Detroit, Orlando and Sacramento. He was part of helping GM Joe Dumars build an NBA champion and perennial contender with the Pistons.

We are down to Lawson, Deron, Jennings, Rose
So the Knicks could have gotten Sergio ( vet pass first PG), Ian Clark ( young guy with upside) and Justin Holiday for less money and years then what Hardaway got. While leaving Baker as a restricted free agent.
out of those 4 I take Jennings and I don't think twice.
Out of those 4 I take none and lose a shitload of games with Ron Baker
you lose with Jennings too thanks to his awful defense - only he showed the ball will move when he's running PG, which will help KP, Wily, etc. develop on offense.

The Kings had a great offseason. I'm excited about this.
Hope he's smart enough to use the job as a stepping stone.
