Lebron want DAntoni. Thats why he was hired.
Fish - if we miss out on the big names- then would you fire Mike?
I like the guy - liked his hiring.
But, he's demonstrated in two years ZERO interest in developing players.
And if we miss out on the big names, I'm not sure what we have left- except to start developing some talent.
You could, and they probably would, keep him around one more season, and then maybe play this all over again in 2011.
David Lee and Wilson Chandler improved trendously under MDA....

LeBron James did say he wants a coach who preaches defense. Mike D'Antoni is allergic to defense.
which is why he played and started jared jeffries while he was here and played and started raja bell in phoenix, ya know since those guys are absolute offensive machines.
jj wasnt really good at d, he simply tried more than the rest of the team. so good in comparison to * whilst here.
diff issue: i hope stern keeps quite from now on about where players should/should not go...
GO TEAM VENTURE!!!!!

Tim Legler has made this point several times when interviewed and asked if he thinks LBJ is going to sign in NY.

For those dreaming of a midseason trade for Chris Paul, you better hope New Orleans doesn't hire Avery Johnson because he'll have that team back on track.
