Mike D’Antoni Wants to Get to Know Dwyane Wade
American HeroAccording to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, a source inside the Heat organization is worried about Mike D’Antoni. The coach of the Knicks will be an assistant on the U.S. Olympic team this summer, where he’ll have the full attention of Dwyane Wade and LeBron James.
That Heat official “expressed concern that Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni will try to ingratiate himself to Dwyane Wade (and LeBron James) as a U.S. Olympic assistant coach this summer in case the Knicks can clear cap space to pursue either as free agents in 2010.”
Thanks Hoops Hype…

Shoot they should be worried and D. Anthony is smart to do so. He better ingratiate himself to Wade and LeBron lol.
Better him to ingratiate someone else than himself lol.

Barry Jackass is the most unreliable sports journalist in the world. That dude has ZERO credibility. Please don’t ever link to him again, it’s not worth the time spent reading.

They should definitely make a statue of Rambo. They could put it in Burma, Thailand, and anywhere else where injustice reigns.

No one cares that Nate McMillan can ingratiate himself with guys and “lure” them to Portland?

Scott says:
Maybe LeBron, but chances of Wade leaving Miami after getting a running mate in either Rose or Beasley is highly unlikely.

Jim says:
I have to vote for “and that’s why I don’t eat shrimp.” My favorite commercial line of the playoffs. And enough with that VW ad.
Also, who cares. He’s the coach of the Knicks, if they are good and have cap room at the time (…) then it will be a concern. Otherwise I don’t think stomping his feet like a JC coach will wow them.

It’s known by everyone around the League that D’antoni is one of the coaches players most wanna play for. Besides, the Knicks have been gearing up specifically for the 09-10 free agent class since like two years ago. Of course D’antoni is gonna try to get on their good side.

Read my mind AB, just couldn’t remember the other assistants and the Coach K luring them to Duke line wasn’t working…
and you guys missed a great one too. “I need you to get me some of htem NBA socks. Like 8 pairs. I need ‘em for my footsies.” “I gotta go Chuck.” “Hey, GET ME THEM SOCKS!”

D-Wade isnt gonna leave period if Rose/Beasley pans out and Matrix stiks around 2010 eastern confrence finals is gonna be LeBron Vs. D-Wade a veteran Rose/Beasley and a past his prime but still serviceable (thats a tough one to spell) Matrix that’ll be fun to watch

Austin Burton says:
Those Wade/Barkley commercials are overflowing with innuendo. Go to YouTube and watch them again: Phone conversations in the shower, “I’m not wearing your ring,” the fact that D-Wade is so concerned with being in Chuck’s Fave Five, the lollipop, “sexy” comments about Chuck in short-shorts, “lookin’ real fierce,” poolside phone conversations, “riding a horse” … I don’t know, man.
