The Rockets and Mike D'Antoni are back in discussions regarding a contract extension for the head coach.

Sources confirm Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta and general manager Daryl Morey visited D'Antoni at his home in West Virginia to talk about his future with the team. D'Antoni's agent, Warren LeGarie was not a part of that gathering.

The meeting was first reported by ESPN.

Late last month, contract discussions between D'Antoni and the Rockets ended when the two sides could not reach an agreement.

D'Antoni was offered a one-year extension with a $5 million base salary plus $4 million in incentives for advancing in the postseason. That original offer included only $2.5 million in guaranteed money due to a buyout if the Rockets fired D'Antoni before the end of the season or if the team didn't reach the postseason and the Rockets fired him after the regular season.

D'Antoni's camp rejected the extension offer, but he remained enthusiastically committed to coaching the remainder of his current contract, which ends next year. D'Antoni is set to make $4.5 million next season.

According to sources, the buyout language from the original offer was removed when the two sides started talking again.

While the discussion is reopened, the two sides aren't close to finalizing a deal yet.

"Nothing has changed," LeGarie said. "That is the offer, but it is not one we are willing to take."

While the buyout was an important piece, it wasn't the only issue with the original offer.

LeGarie said D'Antoni is worth more than what he's being offered.

The Rockets' base salary offer of $5 million is shy of other recent contracts for veteran coaches.

"They know our position, so now it's up to them," LeGarie said.

D'Antoni holds a 173-73 record in three seasons with the Rockets. The 68-year old has been clear that he hopes to coach several more seasons in the NBA.
