We’re Gonna Take This Sitting Down
D’Antoni Wouldn’t Possibly … !!

Let’s play a game of Scruples. You’re offered $24 million to be poked by hot needles for four years. That’s it. You just sit there, and hot needles prod you, day after day, until 2012. It sounds painful, but it also sounds like a lot of money. Would you do it?
I didn’t think so either. But former Suns coach Mike D’Antoni said “eh, sure” and will coach the Knicks, earning $24 million over four years for doing it. Youch. Godspeed. ◼ Newsday

It’s okay though because he’ll only be prodded for a couple of years. Then he’ll have Lebron on his team and everything will be fine.
