Wow. Still digesting a Chuckless future.
In the meantime, here's a little tidbit for all those who might be wondering why soon-to-be former Phoenix Suns coach Mike D'Antoni has somehow not yet been teleported to the Raptors, Sam Mithchell not withstanding.
Two league sources have confirmed that when the Suns agreed to give D'Antoni permission to talk to other clubs, the Bulls and the Knicks in particular, there was one condition: they would not grant permission to D'Antoni to talk with the Raptors.
The suggestion was that the Toronto ban was initiated by the Suns and reflective of the desire of Suns owner Robert Sarver to not be seen to doing any favours for current Raptors president and former Suns general manager Bryan Colangelo. There is no indication the Raptors were seeking permission to talk with Phoenix.
