Report: D’Antoni Offer could come this weekend
Jerry Brown of the East Valley Tribune is reporting that an offer from the Knicks to D’Antoni could happen this weekend.
Sources in both Phoenix and on the East Coast told the Tribune that the expected face-to-face meeting between D’Antoni’s agent, Warren LeGarie, and Knicks president Donnie Walsh didn’t come off Thursday. But there were some telephone discussions, in which mutual interest was made clear enough to take talks to the next level.
There is no deadline, but there remain indications in Phoenix, Chicago and New York that things will heat up over the weekend, and D’Antoni should have one or more offers to consider as he decides on his next coaching destination.
Several sources quickly dismissed a suggestion by ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith that the negotiations with the Knicks and Bulls could be a ploy designed to strengthen D’Antoni’s position in Phoenix and set up a return to the Suns.
Sounds like a lot of East Coast/West Coast drama to me.
