Today, the New York Knicks fired David Fizdale after less than two years as head coach in which he went 21-83, including a 4-18 start to this season. The New Orleans Pelicans are off to a similarly bad start to this year after entering it with high hopes, finding themselves 6-16 just over a quarter of the way through the season. Would it make sense of the Pelicans to take advantage of the Knicks misfortunes and try to bring in David Fizdale in some capacity?
In order to hire him as a head coach, the Pelicans would, of course, have to fire Alvin Gentry.
