“#David Fizdale doesn’t see Knicks as good fit for Chris Paul<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Former Knicks coach David Fizdale thinks adding Chris Paul would be great for the team \u2014 and not so great for the 35-year-old All-Star point guard, who is trying to cap his career with a championship.<\/p>\n

It has been widely reported Knicks president Leon Rose would love to strike a deal for Paul, arguably his favorite client when he was at Creative Artists Agency. The rebuilding Thunder are hesitant to keep Paul because of the two years and $85.5 million left on his pact. Trading for Paul could exclude the Knicks from having a shot at the top players in the powerful 2021 free-agent class, headed by Giannis Antetokounmpo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think you can\u2019t try to go big-game<\/a> hunting all the time,\u2019\u2019 Fizdale said on ESPN\u2019s \u201cThe Jump\u201d<\/a> on Friday. \u201cYou may plan for 2021, and think, I got this money. But that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re going to get the guys. I went through it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, Fizdale\u2019s Knicks had hoped to lure Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in the summer of 2019, and, instead, they joined the Nets. By December, Fizdale was out of a job.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the Knicks have to be open to a lot of different things,\u2019\u2019 Fizdale said. \u201cWould he be a great fit for them? Absolutely. I think he would fit those kids \u2014 Mitchell Robinson going to the rim, they get more spacing, more shooting. Absolutely, he would fit. The big stage. He doesn\u2019t get sick [with COVID-19].\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Fizdale added: \u201cFor him, where he is at his career, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a good fit for him and what he\u2019s trying to do.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Indeed, there have been mixed views on how much Paul prefers to play for a winner. One source told The Post recently he\u2019d like to be on a title contender. Another report has stated the Knicks are on his list, too.<\/p>\n

The Knicks have to be wary of Paul\u2019s injury history. If they give up too many young assets, and he gets hurt, Rose\u2019s Knicks would be left in the dark. Again.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
