Do the Lakers need Phil Jackson?

[bones129]

I think so. Injuries aside (especially to Kobe) the Lakers are floundering and have no direction. Would Phil come back? Although he has issues with Jim Buss, it's all about $. Make the right move, Jim, and tuck tail and ask Phil to come back. Or argue and bicker with your sister, who seems to have more BB savvy than you, IMO.

I think Phil's too smart to touch the Lakers right now.

Phil and the Lakers still aren't a playoff team this year

Kobe's an idiot. He's a big part of the problem.

PJ is now officially in charge of the Knicks. Look out. Checking the 'net for Knicks gear as we speak.

Come on down, Phil...coach your team yourself.

They need better players.

[bones129]

They do need better players.

They also need Phil on the bench.

He won't find a Phil-Clone among any in this bunch, and that's what he may be trying to do. Either that, or he's trying to find a Triangle protege he can counsel and control.
