Sources: Knicks ‘obsessed’ with Masai Ujiri

As noted on Friday, the spotlight is on Knicks president Steve Mills in the wake of David Fizdale’s firing.

We detailed here where things stood with Mills and general manager Scott Perry prior to the Fizdale firing.

If Mills and Perry are let go after the season, Masai Ujiri will be one of the top candidates on the Knicks’ wish list.

Will the Knicks have a shot at landing Ujiri? That’s unclear. But once the Knicks started struggling last month, multiple Madison Square Garden people in positions of influence have been ‘obsessed’ with – and ‘enamored’ by – the Raptors executive, per SNY sources.
