LAS VEGAS — David Fizdale is confident the Knicks can draw marquee free agents in the coming years, and he couldn’t hide the relief of knowing the best one from this market is no longer in the Eastern Conference.
LeBron James heading to the Western Conference to play for the Lakers probably has most East teams, including rebuilding ones like the Knicks, feeling better about their future.
“Hal-le-lu-jah,” Fizdale said following the Knicks’ first summer league practice Tuesday. “Look, I’ll take it. That’s all I can say.”
Fizdale can’t say much about James or anything about the two free agents the Knicks reached agreements with — Mario Hezonja and Luke Kornet — until the moratorium ends on July 6.
