I'm pretty sure the people viewing this thread right now could coach circles around Dunleavy.

But I'm not worrried, Phil will be coming back.

Source close to Phil Jackson told Y! Sports he's leaning toward taking Lakers coaching job. Possible first game Fri vs Phx after 2 practices.

That would be sick if his first game is Friday against Phoenix as I'll be there. That'll be one hell of an ovation he's going to receive.

I thought it was weird that for the Jimmy/Lakers to hire Phil that Jimmy would then have to give up control...sorta crazy

Laker spokesman John Black: "Dr. Buss, Jim Buss + Mitch were unanimous that Mike D'Antoni was the best coach for the team at this time."

Quote:

Mike D'Antoni's Lakers contract is actually three guaranteed years at $12 million. Fourth year is a team option.

Wow.

Drizzy · 11-12-2012, 03:26 AM

Well this should be interesting.

**Luke** · 11-12-2012, 04:08 AM

Not ideal but I'd say this was the second best choice. He gets a bad defensive rep but it's not like he really ever had anything to work with defensively in Phoenix so it's hard to put 100% of the blame on him, and having the world's best defensive player should help a lot.

This should be a really fun team to watch.

hmmm

expect Phil asked for too much (not money but ownership share and conditions) and didnt seem to have the energy and investment required

should be fun
