D'Antoni Doesn't Regret Taking Knicks' Job

Mike D'Antoni isn't sleeping as much and his team's poor play has frustrated him, but he still doesn't regret leaving the Suns to coach the Knicks.

"I have no regrets about what we did," D'Antoni said. "I think we're moving in the right direction. The only regret I have, we haven't made the playoffs yet. And that's something that we've got to rectify real quick."

New York currently has 45 losses, just three fewer than Phoenix had in D'Antoni's last two seasons combined.

Will Knicks Look To Deal Harrington?

When asked to assess New York's season recently, coach Mike D'Antoni made no mention of Al Harrington and there is a growing belief that the Knicks could deal him this summer.

Harrington has one year left on his contract, and teams might value the him because he'll come off the books in the famed summer of 2010.

Marc Berman of the New York Post pointed out that Harrington simply hasn't fit into D'Antoni system, which favors players that can distribute the ball and make others better.
