Is Knicks president Steve Mills setting up David Fizdale to take the fall for the team's failures?

The New York Knicks are bad. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking about the players, the front office, or ownership, the Knicks are just bad. The assigning of blame can’t be far away, and someone in the front office may already be looking for someone to blame to shift attention away from himself.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, team president Steve Mills has been working internally to set up head coach David Fizdale as the fall guy for the team’s current problems. While it seems obvious to most that the Knicks’ roster isn’t very good, Wojnarowski reported that Mills is trying to sell team owner James Dolan on Fizdale and his coaching as the source of the team’s failures.
