James, who takes on the Knicks on Tuesday night at the Staples Center, has lauded Fizdale in the past for their time together in Miami when Fizdale was an assistant coach. But considering the venom coming from elite coaches about the firing, James’ response was tame by comparison, and he said he hasn’t spoken to the former Knicks coach yet. “I haven’t had too much of a reaction,” James told reporters after the Lakers played the back end of a Staples Center doubleheader on Sunday. “The conversation was talked about for quite a while. I knew Coach Fiz is a great coach, great communicator — just trying to motivate his players. I wish him the best. That’s all that matters.”
