Or he adjusted his way into wins with a D-League guard. Are you really trying to get me to defend D'Antoni? Gross.
Wow, if (a BIG if, I know), that deal was available, and if Dolan decided he didn't want to trade Melo for Deron Williams, he is an idiot. Melo and Amare overlap too much in what they each can bring to a successful team. Trading one for another star player at a position of need and a position that is extra hard to fill and a position that does not overlap with a scoring forward - even if that player is not as "good" is smart team building. He is an idiot. Well, we already knew that, so this new decision shed little new light.
I agree that Anthony is terrifically overrated by some. He's a good scorer, no question, and scoring is the most important aspect of the game, but he doesn't do much else at a high level and the overlap with Amare hurts them both. Whether D'Antoni was a problem or not: I dunno. If he wanted to trade Anthony for Williams and management/ownership nixxed it, then... sounds like he was trying to be part of the solution. Ed O.
