Knicks head coach Dave Fizdale seems wide open to new ideas, including a possible total overhaul to the team’s starting lineup. Here’s the NY Post with more:

Enes Kanter and Tim Hardaway Jr., both starters last season, make significant salaries. Kanter will make $18.6 million in his final year and Hardaway Jr. has three years and $54 million left on his pact.
President Steve Mills lavished that $71 million deal on Hardaway Jr. in his first move after being promoted from general manager upon Phil Jackson’s dismissal.
On Tuesday, Fizdale threw all five jobs open.
“Didn’t I answer that question already?” Fizdale said with an edge after Wednesday’s first of two practice sessions. “No one is promised a starting position. I got freedom to do what I want to do from my bosses over there. So it’s open. Don’t matter if you make a lot of money or you make a little money. If you earn the spot you play. That’s it.”
