The New York Knicks have agreed in principle with Mike D'Antoni to become the next coach, the team said Saturday. A news conference will be scheduled upon the completion of the contract.
The former Phoenix Suns coach, who was also sought by the Chicago Bulls, has accepted a four-year, $24 million deal to take over the Knicks. ESPN's Stephen A. Smith reported Saturday morning the terms of the contract, which will make D'Antoni the league's third-highest-paid coach based on annual salary.

well congrats to him
Don't know if this was a wise choice for D'Antoni. He's gonna have his hands full.
Hate to see D'Antoni leave Phoenix but the money calls in this case. Hopefully he is successful in New York.
Real good move... He will get maybe 15- 20 wins next season.

Being a little to positive aint you? JK
A bad move by D'Antoni IMO..the Knicks are a mess from top to bottom and basically need a complete overhaul..It was a great hire by the Knicks, but I dont think anybody could win right now in New York.
I would've went with the Bulls gratefully, IMO.
Really stupid decision...
