Rumor Mill
After the Suns were eliminated in five games by the Spurs, numerous sources indicate that Mike D'Antoni will not be back for another season as head coach. The Arizona Republic reports that D'Antoni has grown tired of the grind and the expectations of being Suns head coach, and may feel as though he's not getting enough support from the team. The story said D'Antoni may leave the Suns by choice, but with $8.5 million left on his contract, it is not likely that he'll be fired. It is expected that the Knicks, Bulls, or even the Raptors may be interested in D'Antoni should he leave Phoenix. (updated: 04/30/2008)
