Some interesting stuff in here.

About the 15min mark until the 21min mark they talk MDA's time with the Knicks.

Biggest take away, D'Antoni wanted to play Melo at the four and when the Knicks got Tyson and had Amar'e and Melo, he felt they were too big and it wouldn't work unless Melo was at the four. He seemed a little jealous of the next season when Amar'e was injured and Melo had to go to the four. Said he thought Melo wasn't comfortable with Lin's popularity but that it would've worked if Melo had been at the four when Lin was there.

actually goes to show how thin the line is between success and failure at this level. If there is no Amare, Melo plays the 4 and MDA runs his style they are probably a hell of a squad, draw other good players, etc etc
