Default Suns Coach D'Antoni set to be NY Knicks coach

The field appears clear this weekend for the Knicks to take their best shot at bringing Mike D’Antoni to New York. While the Chicago Bulls, once believed to be D’Antoni’s most ardent suitor, have fallen back to a “wait-and-see” approach, several sources expect the Knicks to present a lucrative deal — expected to be five years in the $25 million to $30 million range — today to see if the still contractually obligated Phoenix Suns coach is serious about taking his act to Broadway."

wow 6 million dollars a season!!! Impressive contract for a head coach!

Do I think its worth it? Absolutely NOT! He was a great coach who had the luxury of a great point guard in steve nash to make the offense run. With selfish players like marbury and randolph and curry, this team will still go down the drain!! I do happen to think the image of the team will improve. But the image of a team wont make funs happy! Hence, its a horrible move.

I never thought it was the coach as much as it was the players!

I agree that i dont think D antoni will make a difference with the caliber players he has. There is a HUGE difference between a Marbury and Nash! There is a reason why Nash has won an MVP award and Marbury NEVER will!
