No I just felt like disproving someone's statement, opportunities like that are very rare lol

And the Lakers organization has been making themselves look really bad. If they told Phil he had until Monday to accept or decline, then they hire another coach on Sunday night, that is pretty disrespectful, regardless of the demands that Jackson was making.

Reason why I believe that's actually what occurred is because this is from the same group of people that said Brown had 6 home games to get this team on track, then fired him the next morning.

You are aware that I wasn't being serious with that statement, right?

But yet a day later fired him just like that but you dont believe in phil jackson over the same dumb lakers front office? Lol are you for real?

When do teams come out and say their coach is on the hot seat? Never.

And I would like to see you try and answer my earlier question. Why would the Lakers set up a meeting with Phil and then pull the rug out from under him unless he wanted some concessions they weren't willing to give?

Hello? The front office in which mitch was the messenger even told the media that mike brown has nothing to worry about in which is an hour after the jazz embarrassed the lakers. Are you new to watch the nba? Come on man. And the next day mike brown was fired. Yesterday they say he's fine but today they lie.

Just so we're clear, Nash has no excuse now, right?

Exactly. Do you know what the hot seat means? It means you are in trouble. When do teams come out and say their coach is in trouble? Never. So why should the Lakers be any different?

Now explain to me why the Lakers set up a meeting with Phil and then pulled out if it wasn't because Phil wanted something they weren't willing to give.

Are you lost? Those demands were bs and heres why i know cause if those demands were true, why they still say phil was their number 1 choice and he was 95 percent of being the lakers new coach? Sh4t they even tell phil and agree with phil that phil will have until monday to decide but yet at around 11pm sunday night the lakers lie to phil in which they hired mike d'antoni. Something stinks and it aint phil. Former laker even said on espn (i bet you didnt watch it) those demands were a lie.

Yes an anonymous source said there was a 95 percent chance. I wouldn't put much stock in that. And Kurt Rambis is just pissed because he was gonna get a job with Phil.

So basically you are suggesting the Lakers did this to play some kind of prank on Phil? I don't know how you can be that naive, but I guess there is no convincing some people.

they did this to mike brown by saying he has nothing to worry about until a day later they fired him. and phil didnt retired on the best of terms because his brother in law has a hate towards phil. like i said something stinks and it aint phil. the lakers are known to do something stupid and so far this year twice they did something stupid and twice they lie.

So Jim Buss hates Phil so much that he set up a meeting with him to pretend like he was going to give him the job but then give it to D'Antoni instead? That makes sense to you?

And your proof that the Lakers are doing something shady is that they wouldn't come out in public and say Mike Brown was in trouble.

Wow.

buss did it because he heard or read what everybody wants and thats phil. when mitch was ask by a reported in the press about brown being fired, about what about hiring back phil. mitch answer was (we know he's out there). so just cause buss the son hates phil means he cant go to his house to discussed if phil can comeback? again are you new? do you know how many times this happen before of a coach or a player hates their boss but still find ways to work together? sh4t phil wrote a book in which he bashed kobe saying kobe didnt want to listen to him but yet a year later phil returns as lakers head coach. buss of father and son are the two stupid lying ppl in the world today. anybody dont see that better go buy glasses. and wilt you knuckle head, mitch and buss both agree with phil with a handshake that phil will have until monday to decide if he wants coach or not but yet the lakers lie to phil in which they hired mike dantoni in which the lakers didnt even have a face2face meeting with mike lol. come on the lakers front office are a bunch of liars. come on dont say "ok phil we agree you have until monday to decide" but then mitch called before midnight and say "hey phil hows it going? btw we decided we will hired somebodyelse" <<<for real wilt are you blind?
