I want to say I can't believe that, but I can. One of these years the Lakers aren't going to be able to drag Jackson out of retirement for the 14th time to save them.

My feeling when I first heard this news is Phil is coming back. No way they make the move this early if its not him. I'm not sure if he can make it work. The starters don't seem to fit together and they have no bench. If anyone can make anything work is definitely the Zen Master though. Couldn't make a better hire.

Brown couldn't use the bench to save his life. He buried the only shooter he had for no real good reason in Meeks. Jamison needed more minutes. Hill isn't a bad big backup. The backup PG is a mess, but they have depth in some areas. Brown's misuse was equally as criminal as his Princeton offense idea. It's either going to be Phil or D'Antoni, but I have my doubts about MD. I think Phil's first year in LA, he had a lot more mismatched pieces with Glen Rice in the triangle than he would with this unit. Phil loves Howard as is evident every time he talks about him. Gasol can definitely play in it. The real question is Nash, but Phil's a smart enough guy to adjust things to make it work. It'll be an interesting 48 hours. everything I've read says a coach will be hired far sooner than anyone realizes.

If whoever takes this team deep in the playoffs Brown might be lucky to get a WNBA job. No matter who they hire they are most likely better than Scott Brooks |

I honestly think Phil agreed to take the job today. They'll probably announce it tomorrow.

Doubt the Lakers do this so quickly unless Phil was coming back, yeah.

If Phil wants it I can't imagine there would be a decision to be made.

As Lakers meet w/ Phil Jackson today, they've declined meetings w/ any other candidates, source says. "They're all in on Phil," source says. Retw |

Phil Jackson is about to get paid like Michael Jordan.
Man, wouldn't it be nice if the Chiefs cared about winning that much? |

Lakers insist they chose D'Antoni over Phil. Say triangle offense similar to Princeton and would not have been good fit for roster. Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Lakers have hired Mike D'Antoni, signing the former coach of the Suns and Knicks to a four-year contract.

The current NBA guard talent is unreal. Especially at the point guard position, and largely because the NBA outlawed hand checking so Micheal Jordan could be even more dominant which has led to point guards becoming scorers. Big men? Please. The big man talent in the NBA in 1994 would kill the current NBA. NBA had loads of great defensive big men in the 90's. Rik Smits would kick ass in today's NBA and he was just a solid/average big man. A guy like Hakeem would be unstoppable. |

Phil Jackson, after taking his 14th bong hit, had no comment.
