Mike D’Antoni

Dwight Howard’s departure from the Houston Rockets may not be such a formality after all. No, really, I mean that. Even though I’ve wrote extensively on the contrary, and even though I still believe Dwight Howard will leave in free agency, the Rockets don’t appear ready to torch this bridge just yet. Hiring Mike D’Antoni [...]

Bickerstaff’s) throne spoke briefly on how ecstatic he is to be [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers’ process just got a whole lot more…interesting. Mike D’Antoni is now the associate head coach of the NBA’s worst team, his first official gig since leaving the Los Angeles Lakers at the end of the 2013-14 season.
