\n Knicks branding manager Steve Stoute is known for his marketing, but he thinks he can help lure free agents, too.<\/p>\n

Knicks president Leon Rose and senior vice president William Wesley were hired primarily as a conduit to luring stars, but Stoute believes he can form a Big 3.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith having Leon in, World Wide Wes and myself, the three of us, we\u2019re the best sort of team as it relates to being able to speak with free agents,\u2019\u2019 Stoute said over the weekend on the \u201cBreakfast Club\u201d podcast. \u201cOur relationship with talent to bring them to New York. They haven\u2019t had this level of talent in the last 10 years that can go out and pitch free agents and convince them why New York his great.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Stoute was brought on in January to help recharge the image of James Dolan and his woebegone Knicks.<\/p>\n

According to a source, Stoute is tight with Stephen Curry; Klay Thompson; LeBron James; James\u2019 agent, Rich Paul, who also reps Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant; and Durant\u2019s agent\/manager Rich Kleiman.<\/p>\n

Curry has said often he had hoped the Knicks would draft him in 2008. If things fall apart in Golden State, which just posted the league\u2019s worst record after dealing with a host of injuries, it would be no shock if Curry or Thompson sought a new start.<\/p>\n

Stoute defended Dolan\u2019s work, lauding him for paying massive amounts of money to turn the Knicks around \u2014 the latest being a five-year deal for new coach Tom Thibodeau.<\/p>\n

\u201cJames Dolan is misunderstood,\u2019\u2019 Stoute said. \u201cHe\u2019s certainly brash. As a sports fan, I love an owner willing to invest and pay for talent. It\u2019s a risky business. When you go get Phil Jackson, there\u2019s a guy who spent a ton of money to get Phil and he failed. And he went out and got Amar\u2019e Stoudemire and Carmelo [Anthony]. They\u2019re trying and spending money. It doesn\u2019t always work out the way you want it to be.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Asked if Dolan\u2019s antics make things harder for him, Stoute denied it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you have a strong argument, he listens,\u2019\u2019 Stoute said. \u201cIf you don\u2019t have a strong argument, he\u2019ll run you over.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Knicks have missed the playoffs seven straight years. That ineptitude is what makes Stoute\u2019s mission of an image makeover challenging.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy No. 1 job is do what I do best \u2014 rebranding,\u2019\u2019 Stoute said. \u201cThe Knicks are one of the greatest sports brands in the world. Obviously, we got work to do on the court with the team but branding aspects, there\u2019s so much we can do with merchandising and app<\/a>arel, making great advertising to get people excited about this global brand.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
