Mike D'Antoni says Carmelo Anthony 'better fit' with Rockets than Knicks
D'Antoni discussed his relationship with Anthony in an interview published by USA Today Sports

Mike D'Antoni said Carmelo Anthony will be a "better fit" with the Rockets than he was with the Knicks, and he won't have a problem coaching the veteran forward in Houston after their falling out six years ago in New York.
"In New York, when [the Knicks] gave away half the team [to the Nuggets in the 2011 trade for Anthony] and everybody expected us to win a championship, it really wasn't realistic," D'Antoni told USA Today Sports. "It put a lot of pressure on everybody, and it kind of burst the pipes. I think is totally different."
