Suns give D'Antoni permission to talk to other teams

The Suns have given head coach Mike D'Antoni permission to talk to the Bulls and Knicks about their head coaching vacancies.

Wow, first the Mavs fire Avery Johnson (59.3 wins over the last three seasons) and now it looks like Mike D'Antoni (58 wins over the last four seasons) is available as well. I don't remember the last time two coaches that have had this kind of recent, sustained success were available in the same offseason. This appears to be a breakdown between D'Antoni's relationship with new GM Steve Kerr. It's understandable that D'Antoni is resistant to making major changes to a system that has worked pretty well over the last four years. But the proof is in the playoffs and the Suns haven't had the kind of postseason success they wanted given their roster and payroll.
