HOUSTON -- The Rockets are finalizing a deal to make Mike D'Antoni their next head coach, according to multiple sources.
The offensive-minded D'Antoni has been a head coach with the Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers. He is currently an assistant coach with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Sources say the Rockets are working on a three-year contract with D'Antoni, with a team option for the fourth year. He would replace Kevin McHale, who was fired 11 games into this season.
