Knicks could offer job to D'Antoni shortly
Quote:
Neither the Bulls or the Knicks have made Suns coach Mike D'Antoni a contract offer, and despite reports to the contrary, D'Antoni has not ruled out the Knicks, Ken Berger from Newsday is reporting.
While Mark Jackson still remains a strong candidate for the Knick post, Donnie Walsh met with D'Antoni in Phoenix and then stayed out West to meat with Avery Johnson, who was recently fired by Dallas.

Re: Knicks could offer job to D'Antoni shortly
Mike D is soft, I don't care what anyone says. How can you handle these bunch of misfits on this team, unless Walsh can dump 80 percent of the current roster. I observed him during the playoffs with the Suns, he never got in their *** when he needed to, didn't show a sense of urgency, he was as soft as a buttermilk biscuit. Lastly, it will be wised to get a defensive minded coach instead, because our players can't play a lick of D.

It's spelled correctly in the "original" article.

Re: Knicks could offer job to D'Antoni shortly
how many games of that blackhole randolph jacking up shots will it take before d'antoni rethinks his shoot first, ask questions later offense? at least the suns shared the ball even when they attacked.

Re: Knicks could offer job to D'Antoni shortly
What did D'Antoni do to Phoenix that was'nt already started with Marion, Amare, and Joe Johnson? adding Nash to replace Marbury was all the Phoenix Suns needed to do. Marion was the MAN in Phoenix.
Now Coach D'Antoni gets all the credit.
Bringing D'Antoni to New York or Chicago is a foolish move.
The best team inwhich D'Antoni should coach in the East is Detroit.
Detroit players have a great format that he could make better.
D'Antoni will complain about the players on the Knicks and Bulls.
D'Antoni got his Playoff experience from All-Star players Marion, Joe Johnson, Amare, and Nash.
He cant help out the Knicks or Bulls.
Coach Stan Van Gundy would've done a better job coaching the Suns vs Spurs in the first round with Shaq.
D' Antoni is not a Bigman coach...

Re: Knicks could offer job to D'Antoni shortly
D'Antoni's run & gun offense probably won't work in NY seeing how Zach and Eddy need about half of the shot clock just to get past half court.

come on....
This roster is going to be turned over. A lot of these guys will be gone in 2 years. Jackson is my first choice but to say D'antoni will have to make THIS team win is wrong. Walsh is going to make changes.

Re: Knicks could offer job to D'Antoni shortly
I'm going to say it before it happen like I said before the Marbury trade and the Zach trade. If Donnie Walsh Hire Coach Mike D'Antoni with this Knick roster than Walsh is not brighter than Layden or Isiah.
This is not Indiana, where B-Ball Fans forgot about Indiana 4 straight consecutive bum seasons where they used injuries as an excuse for each season untill coach Larry Brown arrived.

Kiyaman...
Like I said above....this Knick roster will not survive no matter who coaches. The next 2 years are going to be tough, no doubt about it. If Walsh hires D'antoni, there will be a different team in 2 years. That being said, jackson is still my first choice.
