Mike D'Antoni said that Nate Robinson's inability to control his emotions was a factor in the Knicks' decision not to sign Robinson to a multi-year contract.

Robinson received a one-year contract just before training camp opened.

"That's why [he is] on a one-year contract," D'Antoni said of the exuberance that often gets the better of Robinson on the court. "That's why we won 32 games."

D'Antoni believes the Knicks would have greater success when Robinson can change his approach to the game.

"As soon as we get it and he gets it, then we'll win, get in the playoffs and guys will find homes."
