Mike D'Antoni has accepted an offer to coach the New York Knicks, according to media reports.
The former Phoenix Suns coach, who was also sought by the Chicago Bulls, has accepted a four-year, $24 million deal to take over the Knicks, according to reports by Sports Illustrated and The Boston Globe, both citing a league source.
Two sources close to D'Antoni confirmed to ESPN.com that the coach has informed Knicks president Donnie Walsh that he's accepting New York's lucrative offer. The Knicks did not immediately confirm that D'Antoni is New York-bound.
