Mike D'Antoni is a candidate for the head coaching vacancy of the Philadelphia 76ers and the two sides could be moving toward a deal, according to Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer.

"Rumblings of Mike D'Antoni going to the Sixers have gotten much louder this past day," wrote O'Connor. "Nothing's final, I'm just intrigued since his preferred style isn't a fit for Philly's roster."

D'Antoni was an assistant coach with the 76ers before he was hired as head coach of the Houston Rockets.
