Mike D'Antoni Interested In Nuggets' Job

Mike D'Antoni has interest in becoming head coach of the Denver Nuggets.
 
D'Antoni hasn't coached since he was fired by the Los Angeles Lakers following the 13-14 season.
 
D'Antoni's first head coaching job in the NBA was with the Nuggets.
 
D'Antoni's fastpaced system on offense would presumably give the Nuggets a strong homecourt advantage due to the altitude of Denver.

He'd at least be a fit given their personnel. That roster was built to play up-tempo and Shaw tried to slow them down and it obviously didn't work.

 

[elcheato]

He's going to end up having coached for every time at some point in his career. 

 

[CameronCrazy06]

If I'm not mistaken he actually coached the Nuggets before.
 
Actually just checked and yeah he did

I dont understand how this guy keeps getting coaching opportunities. This guy doesnt place enough emphasis on defense.

 

[snipezo]

At least they'd be fun to watch with d'antoni as the coach.

They're roster is uptempo since they kept a the two of the key Knicks players they traded Melo for. I honestly think it could work for them since he's coached Chandler and Gallinari and found success with both of them alongside a Raymond Felton and Amare... They could really do damage with 8 seconds or less. Both Gallinari and Chandler were 15+ ppg with the Knicks before the trade. Add a better PG and a talented floor runner like Faried and this team is a match in Heaven. Plus, Jusuf actually can run the floor at his size which is great.

Ty Lawson's their best player lol.

and ty would do well in that offense.

Not a fan of him at all, but like many have said he is a solid roster for their current personnel.

Yeah no shit but with Gallinari & Chandler who found success in that system (with an average PG in Felton) with a Speedy Lawson their numbers could flourish better than when he they played in NYK...
