The Houston Rockets and head coach Mike D’Antoni have had a well-documented foray of contract negotiations, as the Rockets made an offer that MDA and his agent declined last summer. We’ve since heard that the Rockets are prepared to move on from D’Antoni and the Rockets have even been linked to free agent coaches Jeff Van Gundy and Tom Thibodeau.
It seems like every headline that’s generated from the national media has the Rockets moving on from D’Antoni after the season, as we’ve seen respectable writers suggest a split is all but guaranteed.
