A bidding war for Mike DAntoni

[Reality]

Please explain how two of the Largest markets ends up battling and upping the millions for Mike DAntoni.

Phil Jackson-Tex Winters being fought over by Chicago and NYork?  Yes i could understand.  Greg Pop as a high priced Defensive Coordinator, yeah i could get that.

But DAntoni?  Please explain.  How do the Knicks just keep screwing up over and over and over?  Now, maybe DAnt can bring them back to being a good reg season team?  Fast pace fun to watch fill the seats?

Why the Knicks are in the running tells me D'Antoni is either crazy, greedy, or both.

He had issues integrating Shaq yet he thinks somehow Zach Randolph and Eddie Curry might work? 

I see no reason to goto NY just to make 2 or so million more a year.

DUMB.  DUMB.  DUMB.

""[Saturday] morning, Jerry and I spoke and agreed that Mike was a good fit, and I placed a call to his agent," Bulls GM John Paxson said in a statement. "Jerry wanted to meet with Mike again [Saturday] and talk about a deal. Unfortunately, we were never given an opportunity to make an offer of any kind, which is the most disappointing thing in all of this right now. I thought it would have been fair to listen to what we had to say, but at the end of the day we simply weren't given the opportunity.""
