Former Suns, Knicks and Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni has emerged as the front-runner for the Rockets' coaching position though several steps have to still fall in place for him to land the job, a person with knowledge of the process said on Wednesday.

The individual, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the process, said that talks have been ongoing and that there are two other coaches that can be considered finalists for the position.

The Rockets view D'Antoni, the 76ers associate head coach, as one of the preeminent experts in the style of fast-paced, spread offense they prefer, but will consider the staff he will assemble as a major consideration.

The Rockets will look to add a coach that would run their defense, a major consideration to eventually choose D'Antoni.

Grizzlies assistant Jeff Bzdelik is among the coaches the Rockets would consider for that, but they have not interviewed Bzdelik or yet received permission from the Grizzlies to meet with him, a person with knowledge of the process said. Bzdelik will be considered for the Grizzlies head coaching position, according to the individual familiar with the process.

The Rockets had also looked at Pacers coach Nate McMillan for that role before he was named to succeed Frank Vogel in Indianapolis.

Rockets general manager Daryl Morey spent time with D'Antoni at the 2015 Sloan Conference in Boston, getting to know him for the first time, though then not with any idea that he would have a job open. D'Antoni also fits Rockets owner Leslie Alexander's long-preferred style of offense.

Seems as if the Rockets are sending a firm message to Dwight that he needs to get outta town this summer. If I remember correctly Dwight and D'Antoni didn't see eye to eye in LA.

shyt makes no sense

Wanted them to hire Messina personally. Hiring a top defensive assistant won't help. I guess I better get on board with the tank
