New Charlotte Hornets president of basketball operations Jeff Peterson is expanding his front office team, with New York Knicks executive Brock Aller on his radar.

Aller presently serves as the Knicks’ vice president of basketball and strategic planning, having been one of the earliest hires under New York president Leon Rose.

Recognized for his adept management of the salary cap and skill in negotiating favorable contracts, Aller’s potential move to Charlotte remains uncertain, as the Knicks are reportedly keen on retaining him.
