Gersson Rosas leaves Knicks after NBA title run

Gersson Rosas joined the New York Knicks back in 2022 in a senior advisory role. A year later, he was promoted to Senior Vice President of Basketball Operations.

Along with team president Leon Rose, Rosas built the Knicks' current title-contending core bannered by Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Josh Hart.

A longtime NBA executive, Rosas notably served as the president of the Minnesota Timberwolves from 2019 to 2021 before being fired due to an inappropriate sexual relationship with a coworker.

He began his front-office career with the Houston Rockets, rising from a video coordinator to Executive VP of basketball operations.

Given his role in the Knicks' championship run, Rosas might gain plenty of considerations and bigger opportunities from other NBA teams.
