Mike D’Antoni beginning to emerge as front runner for Sixers head coaching vacancy

Rumblings of Mike D'Antoni going to the Sixers have gotten much louder this past day. Nothing's final, I'm just intrigued since his preferred style isn't a fit for Philly's roster. It'd be weird. Would hiring him be a precursor to changes to modernize the team? MDA does love CP3.

It’s sounding like the rumors of former Houston Rockets head Coach Mike D’Antoni becoming the next Sixers head coach are heating up. D’Antoni, 69, has been NBA Coach of the Year twice, both in 2004-2005, spearheading the “7 seconds or less” Suns as well as the 2017 Houston Rockets.
