Houston Rockets Finalizing Deal with Mike D’Antoni

The wait appears to be over, everybody. Daryl Morey and Leslie Alexander have come to the controversial decision to hire Mike D’Antoni after interviewing upwards of 15 people for the head coach position. According to the all-knowing source that is Adrian Wojnarowski, the Houston Rockets will have everything finalized within the next few hours.

Mike D’Antoni, known for his successful Seven Seconds or Less offense, is a perfect coach for designing a powerful scheme to maximize James Harden‘s scoring and passing abilities. However, he is infamous for not being able to handle Carmelo Anthony‘s big ego during his stint with the New York Knicks, as well as faltering on the defensive end.
