据报道步行者队将聘请迈克·德安东尼作为教练。
《问询者》的基思·庞贝：
但有消息称他退出步行者的比赛是因为76人的兴趣是真实的。
一位联盟消息人士说，这项工作可能会让安东尼失去。这位消息人士说，69岁的老将不得不在与76人队老板的面试中大发雷霆，否则他将无法得到这份工作，他还说达奥塔尼正是他们想要的人选。一位团队消息人士否认了这一点，称所有权人在面试候选人之前不会知道自己想要谁。
在烟雾中很难找到真实的故事。
德安东尼从去年开始就在火箭队出局。布雷特·布朗整个赛季都在争夺热门席位，投机活动尤其在泡沫中愈演愈烈。76人队的兴趣是怎么让德安东尼措手不及的？
同样，如果德安东尼是它的主要候选人，费城早就知道了。他曾经是76人队的助理教练。组织里的人很了解他。
印第安纳州的谣言是烟幕吗？还是这个？每个人都在试图利用泰伦卢在市场上的影响力。费城不想疏远其他候选人，包括前雷霆队教练比利多诺万，直到最终达成协议。
德安东尼是一个优秀的教练，当他有符合他的体系的球员，而在其他方面他是一个糟糕的教练。他需要通过速度创造空间和压力的球员（不一定是速度上的，但也要有活跃的动作和在套路内的快速传球）。
也许德安东尼会和乔尔·恩比德或本·西蒙斯成功。但可能不是两者兼而有之。费城计划在这两个城市周围建设。
阿尔·霍福德加剧了大人物的僵局。即使是托比亚斯·哈里斯，在德安东尼体系中能在大前锋方面茁壮成长，但由于其他球员的原因，他也可能是一个不合适的小前锋。由于霍福德和哈里斯的合同很昂贵，重组将很困难。
也许德安东尼有一些创造性的想法可以让76人队更上一层楼。事实证明他有创新能力，采访他是有道理的。

Report: 76ers want to hire Mike D’Antoni as coach
原文：
The Pacers were reportedly expected to hire Mike D’Antoni as coach.
Keith Pompey of The Inquirer:
But sources are saying he backed away from the Pacers gig because the Sixers’ interest is real.
a league source said the job could be DâAntoniâs to lose. The source said the 69-year-old would have to bomb his interview with the Sixers owners not to be offered the job, and said DâAntoni is the candidate they want. A team source denied that, saying the ownership wonât know who it wants until candidates are interviewed.
It’s getting difficult to find the true story amid all the smoke.
D’Antoni was on the outs with the Rockets since last year. Brett Brown also spent all season on the hot seat, and speculation especially intensified in the bubble. How did the 76ers’ interest catch D’Antoni off guard?
Likewise, Philadelphia would’ve known for a while if D’Antoni were its prime candidate. He used to be a 76ers assistant coach. People in the organization know him well.
So was the Indiana rumor the smokescreen? Or is this? Everyone is trying to gain leverage with Tyronn Lue also on the market. Philadelphia doesn’t want to alienate other candidates, including former Thunder coach Billy Donovan, until finalizing a deal.
D’Antoni is an excellent coach when he has players who fit his system and a poor coach otherwise. He requires players who create space and pressure through speed (not necessarily in terms of pace, but also with active movement and crisp passing within sets).
Maybe D’Antoni would succeed with Joel Embiid or Ben Simmons. But probably not both. And Philadelphia plans to build around both.
Al Horford adds to the big-man logjam. Even Tobias Harris, who could thrive at power forward in a D’Antoni system, could just be an ill-fitting small forward because of the rest of the roster. With Horford and Harris on expensive contracts, it will be difficult to retool.
Maybe D’Antoni has some creative ideas to get the 76ers to a higher level. He has proven capable of innovation, and it makes sense to interview him.
