WOJ: Knicks president [Mills] angling for David Fizdale firing

[PornDoc]

What an awful joke of a franchise. My interest and faith in this team has never been lower in my 30 years of being a fan.

So much dysfunction and drama and we’re only 10 games in.

Will be THE biggest mistake the Knickerbockers make if/when they fire Fiz.

My gosh...it was not Fiz who made the decision to sign a million power forwards.

Upper management needs to stay in their lane and let Fiz coach and develop the players. Fiz is the one who has to work with the players Perry and Mills brought in. The fact Perry brought in his boy Elfrid just makes the whole Point God situation even more confusing.

Let Frank play. Free Frank! Bring DSJ off the bench and let him get buckets. Someone gotta get a big man to work with Mitch Rob to ease up on the fouls.

Steven A been going in the last 20 mins about Mills. Thinks Fiz is gone and did NOT like Mills throwing him under the bus.

Multiple SNY sources familiar with the matter said as recently as Thursday that there was no indication that any major coaching or management change was imminent. But those sources stated that nothing had been ruled out with regard to an in-season front office or coaching change.

Sources also told SNY that high-ranking MSG officials -- those that would be part of the decision-making process to make changes to management or the coaching staff -- weren't thrilled after last Sunday's 113-92 home loss to the Sacramento Kings. That's understandable, given the result. But it's worth pointing out given the sense of urgency and general disappointment expressed by top Knicks decision makers on Sunday.

When you think about potential firings, it's worth noting that Mills, Perry and Fizdale all have multiple years on their deals. So Dolan, who has in the past addressed his executives during lopsided losses, as he did on Sunday, would have to pay out money on those deals if he chose to fire Mills, Perry or Fizdale.

Mills, per SNY sources, also has a double option in one of his years. So both Mills and the Knicks would have to agree to exercise the option. That arrangement is similar to what Phil Jackson -- who signed a five-year deal for $60 million in March 2014 and was fired in June 2017 -- had as president.

so he can get out of the mills contract halfway into it

is this summer half way into it? can you clean house completely in season?

[GONYK]

the coach always gets fired first. that's the natural order of things. this is mirroring phil's time. fiz is fish, the young coach in over his head. whether they get to hire a new coach eventually or only to promote someone currently here will be telling to how secure dolan is with the front office. if mike miller or keith smart coaches this year and next, they're already fired too. because he doesn't want to pay another coach the new gm might not want.

I wonder how much film Fiz is going to claim he watched to get over this one.

i wonder what his reaction will be with him on the hot seat ? if it was me and i felt thrown under the bus, i would be playing who i really thought would help no matter what i was told and bench whoever i didn't. fiz has a lot of good will around the league, people like him, he doesn't need to play the good soldier to maintain his employability in the nba. i wonder if he'll go out swinging ? or is he even aware of what the problems with the roster are ?

So basically, will he bench Randle or not?

Everything awkward about the usage of the roster so far traces back to keeping Randle in the SL.

Lol at Mills convincing Dolan to get rid of KP and Fiz like he isn’t the root problem. Is Dolan really this stupid

he became president in 2017, that was phil's title before. the new contact started then. 3 years plus a mutual option for 2 more is what i imagine.

There’s footage of Masai saying he hates the Knicks. Well damn. Lol

SAS ain't wrong. That was a public hatchet job last night. Mills is trying to save his own butt at this point.

I've always been a glass-half-full guy as far as this team is concerned, but right now I'm ready for them to clean house. It was gonna happen anyway, but I never imagined that Mills would do it as dirty as he did last night.

They all have to go at this point. The only thing that will save Fiz is if the team reels off a bunch of wins in a row, and everybody knows that ain't happening.
