D'Antoni got the feeling the Bulls had reservations and the Knicks didn't.
I read it all & D'Antoni has said it comes down to his "gut" feel. I would suggest you re-read JR's account to KC. JR comes across as a major jerk. And part of it is the speed at which he is operating.

For instance,
Quote:
"...I said if we need to get something done this weekend we shouldn't even bother talking because it will take longer than that," Reinsdorf said.

I guess if MD "misled" then JR is a ******** liar because the Bulls came back that weekend, the next day, with an offer. Put MD's gut had written off that fool by then.
