MIAMI — The plans of summer, really the plans that have been in the works since the day that the Knicks decided to trade away Kristaps Porzingis and alter the trajectory of the franchise, have taken a steady procession of body blows.
The coach, David Fizdale, who was supposed to be a part of the three-headed leadership group along with team president Steve Mills and general manager Scott Perry, is gone. The seven free agents who signed on in summer are on the trading block for the next six weeks — free to be dealt now and all aware of the reality that with the season heading toward oblivion, no one is safe.
