For now, D'Antoni seems fine with the arrangement, while Houston owner Tilman Fertitta said he's quote thrilled tohave D'Antoni back.

Michael, Let's face it.

The winds of change are blowing in Houston.

How do you see this entire thing playing out?

Likely blowing D'Antoni right out of town.

I mean, you're not gonna come back.

First of all, it doesn't seem like a real extension that's on the table that was on the table.

At one point.

It sounds like parting gifts.

I mean, you okay, we're gonna We're gonna give you basically half the salary you're making now for that extra year.

And we're going to incentivise it with these bonuses.

If you do this.

If you do that.

No, Mike D'Antoni's a proven coach.

Mike D'Antoni's got Houston.

As far as they've been in the post Akeem Olajuwon era.

Now I can't see him doing this.

Other teams going to be interested, and by this, let's face it, the Rockets are unsatisfied with not being able to beat the Warriors.

How did they even know who's gonna be on the roster with the most recent developments of yesterday?

And Mike, I think it's complete an overreaction by the Houston Rockets.

First of all, you don't know if Durant's going to back in Golden State the last two years.

You've lost to the best team.

So what do they do?

They get rid of the entire coaching staff.

Really?

That's what it was.

So you know that they're trying.

They're poking Mike D'Antoni a little bit now.

Warren Ligairi, Mike's agent, told the Houston Chronicle that that's really not the extension that they offered.

It's really 2.5 million if he gets fired before the season for making the house doesn't start until he get until he gets out of the second round.

So it looks a little bit different than what they're making it out to be.

And if I might, D'Antoni Mike has accomplished a lot and this idea that can't work that way.

I'm not buying it.

The last two years.

They lost to the best team.

They're not getting knocked out in the first round by chopped liver.

They're losing to the to the Golden State Warriors.

You know what?

Apparently for teachers.

One of those owners who wants it now and believes he's got the goods and somebody is short changing it.

And basically, this is throwing the head coach, Mike D'Antoni under the bus.

It is no matter what they say.

And so now you don't you think the other team's gonna be interested enough in D'Antoni, even if you have to take a year off?

What?

He doesn't have to do this.

And Mike, I think this is a case of them.

May be looking to save a little bit of money.

Jeff Best Delic was making a lot.

That was a defensive coach.

They got him.

They're looking to get Mike for maybe 2.5 million.

Someone's not gonna be back out of that group of James Harden.

Chris Paul.

Right now that looks so you gonna spend $77 million on two players and not cover your investment with a really, really, really, really fine coaching staff.
