LAS VEGAS — With $70 million of cap space, Knicks brass bought time instead of a star player. Striking out shouldn’t be shocking when reviewing their past lack of conquests.
The Knicks’ narrative for the last several months, despite the league-worst 17-65 record, is the company had changed its image league-wide, changed the culture.
Knicks coach David Fizdale was trotted out on the national stage after the season ended in mid-April, sitting down with the Dan Patricks and Rachel Nichols of the world to promote their spin.
“I think going into free agency, we’ve got a lot of good things we can show and how this is going to be a different deal going forward with the Knicks,” Fizdale said on “The Jump’’ during their long spring.
