There seems to be an annual shift within the front office for the Knicks. They have been playing musical chairs for the past couple of years and that trend continues.
Glen Grunwald has been bumped out of the way to make room for the return of Steve Mills. Mills will serve as team president and GM.
He was also recently rumored to replace Billy Hunter as union head.
Steve Mills, who spent a decade as one of the highest-ranking executives at Madison Square Garden before departing in June 2009, will replace Glen Grunwald, who spent the last three seasons helping to transform the Knicks into a competitive team.
The Knicks said Grunwald would remain with the team as an adviser, but it was unclear how much he would be involved in future decisions.
Mills was president of Madison Square Garden from 2003 to 2008, a period in which the Knicks were in disarray on and off the court. It was Mills who recommended that Isiah Thomas be hired as the Knicks’ president in December 2003.
