The New York Knicks are in a freefall, losing eight of their first 10 games of the season. The most recent defeat—a blowout at home to the Cleveland Cavaliers—sparked an unusual press conference from president Steve Mills and general manager Scott Perry, along with a desperate head coach, David Fizdale, speaking to save his job.
Well, Fizdale may be ousted sooner than later if the front office has its way. Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski and Malika Andrews, Mills has “started to lay the internal groundwork” for Fizdale’s eventual firing.
Despite the 2-8 start, Mills is selling owner James Dolan on “a roster constructed to be highly competitive in the Eastern Conference,” thus leaving Fizdale in trouble.
