LeBron James spares Knicks more David Fizdale firing abuse

Error 0:

LOS ANGELES — For a change, LeBron James laid off the Knicks’ front office.

Several hours after Clippers coach Doc Rivers ripped the Knicks brass at Staples Center for their handling of fired coach David Fizdale, James was posed the same question in the arena late Sunday night following the Lakers’ 106-99 victory over the Pistons.

James, who takes on the Knicks on Tuesday night at the Staples Center, has lauded Fizdale in the past for their time together in Miami when Fizdale was an assistant coach. But considering the venom coming from elite coaches about the firing, James’ response was tame by comparison, and he said he hasn’t spoken to the former Knicks coach yet.
