I wouldn't put it that way. Jerry might be mad he ultimately didn't get his way, but I don't think the Sixers could have realistically handled it any more softly. And they kept Collars' lieutenants.

I acknowledged Jerry was mad, but if he truly things Bryan got screwed over, he's an idiot. Which would make D'Antoni a third-hand idiot.

Sources have confirmed the team will interview the former Houston Rockets coach in the coming days. One source said the interview could come as early Wednesday. However, Sixers sources denied D’Antoni would interview that day. Asked if he would interview Thursday, sources said the dates of interviews have yet to be determined. However, a league source said Tuesday that D’Antoni was preparing to head to this area to interview for the job.

But a league source believes the job could be D’Antoni’s to lose. The source believes the 69-year-old would have to bomb his interview with the Sixers owners not to be offered the job, and said D’Antoni is the candidate they want. A team source denied that, saying the ownership won’t know who it wants until candidates are interviewed.

Some might think the coach and the Sixers' mutual attraction was a negotiating ploy for both parties, and that the Sixers could use interest in D’Antoni as a way to lower Lue’s asking price of $7 million and D’Antoni could use the Sixers' interest as a way to raise his price tag. But sources are saying he backed away from the Pacers gig because the Sixers' interest is real.

Lue was a candidate for the Brooklyn job before the Nets hired Steve Nash two weeks ago. He remains a candidate for the New Orleans job. There had been some confusion among Sixers fans with Lue’s representation. Some wondered if he was represented by Klutch Sports, which represents Simmons. However, Lue is represented by Bobby Height of Career Sports & Entertainment.

For the past several months, the expectation was that D’Antoni would be hired by the Indiana Pacers, who fired Nate McMillan on Aug. 26. Sources have said McMillan’s coaching style wore on the players. He’s a no-nonsense guy, capable of shaking players out of their comfort zones, and has strict rules.
