The Houston Rockets and Mike D'Antoni have re-engaged in discussions over a contract extension and are close to an agreement, according to Tim MacMahon of ESPN.

D'Antoni previously broke off talks on May 30th. Tilman Fertitta has eliminated language surrounding a buyout that was at the cause of their disagreement.

Fertitta and Daryl Morey visited D'Antoni in West Virginia this week to smooth over any hard feelings resulting from their contract negotiations.
