Mike Dantoni is a great NBA coach. I am sad to see him go, except for the fact he is so stubborn it hurts him. Here is a list of some of his greatest miscalculations:
1. I can win with a championship playing 7 guys..... 5 if it is a close game.
2. I dont need to coach defense, our opponents will be so tired by the 4th quarter we will run them out of the building (apparently he doesnt make a connection that theory #1 rules out #2)
3. Seven seconds or less can win a championship.
4. I can go to New York and the fans there will give me the 3 years I need to be a contender.
Mike (or his agent) needs his mental calculator tweaked a bit.
Best of luck to Mike D'antoni, with the void in decent coaches available you will be sorely missed in Phoenix. Look on the bright side, even the Knicks should be able to compete in the East.

MIke D'Antoni is a awful coach. He can't get it done even with a star spangled roster. Imagine trading the Suns with Shaquille O'Neal and Steve Nash, Amare Stoudemire, Leadro Barbosa, Raja Bell, Boris Diaw, Grant Hill... Imagine trading that for the Knicks Stephon Marbury, Jammal Crawford, Zack Randolph, David Lee, Nate Robinson, Malik Rose and such...
Bad coach, too many knuckleheads, too much payroll, too little patience...
Recipe for disaster...

Oracle,
You said it all. It will be fun to watch another meltdown in N.Y. The Knicks roster has only two or three guys with enough bball IQ to play D'Antoni's offense.
Starberry is a far cry from Steve Nash.

After the whole Isiah Thomas fiasco, New York Knick fans just might be a little patient. I mean, let's face it the Knickerbockers are the joke of the NBA so the fans just might give D'antoni a break if it appears he has the team headed in the right direction...just sayin

Jcat, this was a power play that Mike won reluctantly. I am not sure he ever wanted the job in New York but the obvious attraction was the money they'd pay him over 4 years to become yet anothe scapgoat for this franchise. He bets that perhaps he will get lucky and win some games along the way. I am not betting on that nor is he giving the money back. Right man, wrong job!

U guys really amazed me ...
seriously the Knicks will never be a good team ? isn't possible that the reason why they were so bad it's because of Isaiah ? and now with a new coach the players will do a much better job ?
don't quit jump on judging and speculating ... Aren't you the same people who said that the Hornets won't win a playoff series because of their inexperience ?

The reason they were so bad was because everyone on their team sucks. Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph should be kicked out of the NBA for their lack of any effort whatsoever. Starbury is an egotistical idiot who thinks he is better than he is. Nate Robinson is a midget. Jamal Crawford can score and do not much else. The only person on that entire team I would take to put on my bench would be David Lee. Isiah Thomas was a terrible GM, yes. But if Larry Brown couldn't coach that team no one can. Good like, D'Antoni, you're going to need it. The first thing I'd do when I got there would be to sit Eddy Curry's fat @ss right on the end of the bench. That guy doesn't deserve to be paid a dime.

It would be good for the east Coast bball scene that the Knicks return to at least early 90's level.
I was a (ssshhhhhh) huge Willis Reed and Clyde fan, so I always miss seeing the knicks in the hunt (shhhhhh, there may be a Yankee fan out there).

I find it difficult to believe the Knicks could be any worse than they were under Thomas. I think Donny Walsh will rebuil the roster and will hire a defensive assistant coach to make sure they are not Phoenix Light. I look forward to the East having more than just 2 good teams again.

D'antoni has a 4 year deal. They can dump a lot of the ridiculous payroll in the next few years either through expiring contracts or trades. This will free up enough money in 2010 when James will be freed from Cleveland. Not saying it will happen, but with D'antoni's style of play and James athletecism it could be a perfect fit. Plus the owner has shown he is not afraid to spend money. And now that he has a GM that has proven he can put together winning teams, he will spend it to put a team around James.
