There’s nothing wrong with doing something for the money, as long as you know that’s what you’re doing it for. But if you have a choice between doing something for the money and doing something you might enjoy – and financial hardship isn’t an issue for you – then how could you ever pick money over happiness, especially if you don’t even need the money?
This article makes it seem like Mike D’Antoni is genuinely intrigued by the prospect of coaching the Chicago Bulls because they have some players that could fit his up-tempo style. The article also makes it seem like D’Antoni might instead choose the Knicks job because the Knicks might throw a $6M annual salary his way.
Look, the Bulls need more than D’Antoni to be a legitimate candidate to make it out of the Eastern Conference. Right now they look like a second-round kind of a team. But shouldn’t D’Antoni be able to realize that $3M in Chicago would be better than $6M in New York? At least the Bulls could make the playoffs. He’s been coaching long enough that the extra $3M shouldn’t make that much difference, right? Why be insanely rich and miserable coaching a lousy team when you can still quite rich and a little happier with a mediocre team?
That being said, I’d rather the Knicks hire D’Antoni than either of the other choices that are supposedly being considered. Avery Johnson needs a year off and Mark Jackson needs to have a job in the game before we turn over a team to a guy that’s been a player and a broadcaster and nothing else...
