Mike D'Antoni Signs With Knicks, Rick Carlisle Signs With Mavs

Both are good moves. Let me start with D'Antoni, no one knows what is going to happen with trades and everything, but he can get the group of convicts, known as the Knicks, in order and maybe get on a winning pace. I see him being able to run an offense similar to Shaq in Phoenix with Curry and Randolph, and maybe even get some fast breaks going. We all know D'Antoni will be able to get the Knicks more points on the board but will they be able to stop anyone?

I love Rick Carlisle and think he did a great job in Detroit and Indiana. He does well with veteran teams and with a team thats window is all but shut he should be able to get at least 2 good seasons out of them.

Both deals were 4 years around 30 million

D'Antoni to the Bulls?

If the reports are true, former Suns coach Mike D'Antoni will be now coaching the Chicago Bulls. He goes from a team that was extremely talented that couldn't win in the play-offs to a team that is extremely talented that doesn't make the play-offs. With Gordan and Deng's contracts coming up, he will be coming into a very complicated system. The Bulls have the players to be a fast break team but it seems they need an attitude change and maybe D'Antoni can put his values in guys like Tyrus Thomas and Ben Gordan.

Mike D'Antoni Out Of Phoenix?

ESPN.com is reporting Mike D'Antoni is out as the coach of the Phoenix Suns a day after their first round play-off loss to the Spurs. Listen, I like the Suns and like D'Antoni, however, they have no more excuses left. Two years ago Joe Johnson was injured, one year ago there was the Amarie Stoudimire suspension, this year, everyone was healthy. Shaq did a good job against the Spurs, but I believe Marion would have been more effective. They need a new coach to come into Phoenix and bring defense to the forefront. Maybe Celtics assistant Tom Thibodeau?

I believe their window is still open but it is very close to being closed, I think Thibodeau will and should be their guy.
