(Big C) -It looks like Chris Mullin could  be the Knicks new general manger in the future. According to Frank Isola of the Daily News, Chris Mullin is the guy Donnie Walsh wants to hire as the new GM. Here is what was reported by Frank Isola:

"OAKLAND - Chris Mullin remains Donnie Walsh's preferred choice to become his top lieutenant - and one day succeed him - although a potential hiring is not imminent and far from a sure thing.

According to a Knicks source, Walsh has identified Mullin, the New York basketball legend, as the person to eventually join the Knicks' front office, most likely as the general manager. The holdup is that the team doesn't have an opening and/or a budget to add another executive.

When asked about Mullin yesterday, Walsh would not comment on the possibility of adding the former St. John's All-America from Brooklyn. Walsh joked that there are rumors that he is "hiring everyone.

"But I love Chris," he added. "Everyone knows that."

Mullin, who has been reluctant to discuss the Knicks, did not return phone calls. A prominent player agent who has negotiated deals with both Walsh and Mullin believes that Mullin eventually will end up in New York, saying, "It makes too much sense. Chris Mullin is New York."-Daily News
