NOOOOO! D'Antoni to Knicks!

[AZ89two4Tsx]

If you've been watching basketball lately, you've probably heard that Phoenix Suns coach Mike D'Antoni is going to the New York Knicks. Most people including me have no idea why he would leave a very good team and go to the Knicks who SUCK! Do you guys have any idea why he would leave, and who's gonna replace him?

This sucks!

Wow..............thought he was going to Dallas. His shoes should be filled in no time, also the sun's are outdated mang, no disrespect just my .02 cents.

Well, the first I heard about it was when D'Antoni and the Suns management were meeting to discuss D'Antoni's "future", so I took that to mean that he was basically being released.

I think it's a pretty good move for him. NO, the Knicks don't "SUCK", their former coaching staff sucked **ahem ISIAH THOMAS ahem**.

The Knicks actually have a very well stacked line-up, including Stephon Marbury, Eddy Curry, Zach Randolph, Jamal Crawford, David Lee, Quentin Richardson, Nate Robinson, Malik Rose, etc. Not to mention they will be getting a couple pretty high draft picks next year, due to their horrendous record. They obviously have LOTS of very talented players, they just didn't have the right guy behind the clipboard to mesh them and lead them.

I think with D'Antoni's help the Knicks could very well be some kind of threat in the East. It's very exciting if you think about it..

On another note, he left the Suns because of "friction between he and Steve Kerr (GM of the Suns)".. but IMO he probably left because he realized they were idiots for picking up that big, overweight, stupid lazy guy.. what's his name? oh yeah... Shaq

...and hey, who knows.. the Suns may end up signing Avery Johnson

The reason I think D'Antoni is leaving is philosophical differences between him and new GM Steve Kerr. I believe they (the Suns) will try to become a defensive team, not a bad idea, and D'Antoni is just not that guy.
