When Rose took over as the team president in early 2020, the Knicks were a lowly lottery team, with little to no direction for the future. Since then, however, they’ve hired a new coach in Tom Thibodeau, who won the NBA’s Coach of the Year award this past season, who helped push this team to the fourth seed in the playoffs, where they made their first postseason appearance in eight years.
