As a Huge Knick Fan this is who I wanted

But I will admit we Never Learn our lesson we always go for the Big Name coaches in this city

We don't go by what fit with the Current team because this surely does not

Maybe Lee, Balkman , Chandler & Nate fit , that is about it

The one player on the team that will definitely fit this style is Jamal Crawford...

D'Antoni is going to have to make major adjustments is style to work with Randolph & Curry...

I would have to think they will do everthing humanly possible to get rid of at least one of them..

Very questionable hire here.  Like PMG911 said, Dantonio's style doesn't really fit the type of player the Knicks have.

Regardless, the Knicks are gonna have to take their lumps the next few years until they get under the cap and can sign LaBron James.

I think many of the knicks players will benefit from D'Antoni's style. Crawford, Nate, Lee, Balkman, Fred Jones, Jeffries, and even Randolph. I think Curry will struggle the most but he'll still be fine. Also Q already knows and has had the best years of his career in D'Antoni's style. It really can't get any worse for the Knicks so they have to improve somewhat.

Also its D'Antoni not D'Antonio!

it doesn't matter if players don't fit.  NYK will be making lots of moves this year and the year after.  they will be rebuilding. 

i don't like the hiring because he doesn't preach defense.  i'd like mark jax as a assistent coach though.

and also.

balkman/nate/chandler fit the system perfectly.  balkman's very athletic, not much offensive game (but something you can hide on a uptempo offense) and very good defensively.  him and isiah did not get along and with d'ntoni (player's coach) he'll have a chance to break out.

I think Nate Robinson is an awful NBA player but he might do well with D'Antoni's system...    Fred Jones is probably gone...

I wonder if D'Antoni will continue with his loose discipline with his current problem children. .Stephon & Zack....

nate as actually improved a lot.  he can play under control now and is not as turnover prone and has got decent shooting ablilty.

and marbs is already on the chopping block...

I wish we had Frye and Ariza back cause they would be great in his offense.  Instead we have guys like randolph, curry, james...
