According to the East Valley Tribune, the New York Knicks could soon make a substantial financial offer to Suns coach Mike D'Antoni, which could show him that he is their number one coaching target.

The offer, which could top $30 million for five years, would figure to far outdistance any offer D'Antoni's other suitor, the Chicago Bulls, could muster.

D'Antoni's agent Warren LaGarie, who was flying back to the United States from Greece on Wednesday, will make use of a stopover in New York this morning to meet with the Knicks.

But while the Big Apple is coming after D'Antoni hard, sources confirm the Bulls still represent the better on-court situation in his eyes.
