Houston Rockets: Team cornering Mike D’Antoni by stripping his coaches

The Houston Rockets offseason typically involves us wondering what new players the team will acquire to improve but things have been a bit different as of late. The biggest story at this moment is the future of head coach Mike D’Antoni, where there seems to be a shadow of doubt cast moving forward.

This all started when D’Antoni, who is going into the final season of his four-year, $16 million deal with the Houston Rockets, publicly requested an extension for a minimum of at least three more seasons with the team.

D’Antoni is giving us the impression that the team is working to get a deal done where it appears as if the Houston Rockets are taking their time, vetting the process and not necessarily in rush to get those contract extension papers extended.
