The New York Knicks are expected to hire former Minnesota Timberwolves president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas as a consultant, league sources say. Rosas, 43, was abruptly fired by the Timberwolves just days before the start of the season amid organizational concerns about a fraying relationship with fellow front-office executive Sachin Gupta and the discovery of a consensual romantic relationship between Rosas and another team employee. Gupta was subsequently installed as the new head of Minnesota’s front office.
