Hughes was responsible for the Porzingis draft tbh.

Hughes was responsible for the Porzingis draft tbh.
And the Hernangomez, Gallinari, Frye, and Hardaway Jr. picks, for that matter. The Knicks have actually drafted well during Hughes' time there, they've just sucked at everything else. Especially their disastrous free agent signings - but since we hired one of the top CBA experts in the league (Michael Winger) as our new GM, I'm not really concerned about that for us.

I'm guessing Hughes will continue to focus on the draft while West, Frank, Winger and Redden handle the rest of the moves. Overall, I like what we've done with our front office, tbh. We've brought in several highly-regarded executives on the rise and given the opportunity to learn from The Logo. And Doc no longer has any decision-making power. Ballmer deserves some props for admitting to his mistakes and sparing no expense to correct them.
