Throwing of David Fizdale Under the Bus by Knicks’ Execs Shameful
Column - November 13, 2019
The New York Knicks are a perfect representation of what happens when you have poor, unprepared leadership that drops the ball during the biggest moments.
When Plan A for the 2019 offseason — trade Kristaps Porzingis to Dallas and pursue Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in free agency with $72 million in cap space—completely blew up in the Knicks executives’ faces, they tried to establish a Plan B to keep their slow but steady progression moving upward. Through the first ten games of the 2019—20, it appears that “Plan B” has also completely failed.
To their disbelief, while to the expectations of others, this mindset has been anything but inaccurate. The free agent group of power forwards have done almost nothing to improve this roster, as the team stands at a 2—8 record and has lost two of their home games by wide margins to hapless teams.
Now, with the most recent humiliating loss this past Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, a 21-point defeat, it is time for Mills and Perry, the co-conspirators of the Knicks’ offseason decisions, to face the music. Instead of doing this, they are looking for someone to dump the blame on and protect their backs from an angry James Dolan.
Their choice of scapegoat: head coach David Fizdale.
