Jackson is an overrated turd. Lets see him take the Kings or T Wolves and see what he can do.
With Lord Poppy s ruination plan for the Spurs in full swing and his desire to not ride off until the ruin is complete, would Phil even consider coming to the sinking Spurs vs some other of the other good and potentially great openings? (Where are you going LeBron? I want you, Bosh, and Phil Jackson on the Brooklyn Nets) Would Holt be too idiotic/attached to Pops ass to give Phil J an offer?
Pay cut involved in Jackson's return

LOS ANGELES -- Are the Lakers trying to low ball Phil Jackson?
The 10-time le winning coach, in the last year of his current contract with the Lakers that pays him a reported $12.5 million for 2009-10, told reporters Wednesday prior to Game 2 of the Western Conference finals that he has already had discussions with the team's front office about coming back next season and the Lakers want to reduce his salary.
"It's been indicated there will be a salary cut but not ... I'm not going to say 'down,' that's kind of weird to say stuff like that," Jackson said. "It's still a ridiculous salary whatever it is."
The pay cut was first reported by Michael Wilbon when he appeared on Tony Kornheiser's WTEM-AM radio show in Washington D.C. on Monday.
"Jackson's been told that not only will he not be making $12 million next year, it's going to be a $5 million cap on his salary," Wilbon said, citing unnamed sources.
Jackson first mentioned the potential pay cut on Dec. 19 before the Lakers played the Nets in New Jersey.
"A lot of it has to do with the direction the league is going, the direction the ownership wants to go in," Jackson said. "People are cutting costs all around the league, and coaches are obviously going to take a cut too, so they may not even want to hire me. They may want to save some money."
When a reporter followed up Jackson's statement by asking him if he would accept a lowered salary, Jackson responded, "Would you?"
Jeanie Buss, Jackson's girlfriend and the daughter of Lakers owner Jerry Buss, has her own idea of what might happen.
"I think if they win, it's like a no-brainer he'll come back because he'll want to win three in a row," Jeanie Buss, Lakers executive vice president, said Wednesday night. "But [if they don't win], if there isn't that connection, he would understand.
"Plus, my dad has made it very clear he doesn't want to pay him what he's been paying him. So that's kind of hard, too. You could kind of say, in some jobs, well, I'm cutting back your hours. But can you see him cutting back his hours?"
The future of the 64-year old coach has been a mystery surrounding the team all season.
On March 26 in Oklahoma City Jackson said, "No decision and no leaning at all. I'm leaning against the wall and that's about it," after a report surfaced earlier that day that Jackson had made his decision to return.
On April 28, Jeanie Buss told ESPNLA.com's Ramona Shelburne that Jackson would definitely be back on the sidelines for the 2010-11 season, just not necessarily in Los Angeles.
"I know Phil will be coaching next year, somewhere. Whether it's here or someplace else I don't know," Buss said. "There's going to be a lot of good jobs that come up this summer."
On May 4, during the second round against the Utah Jazz, Jackson said, "I'd say it's 90 percent that if I'm coaching it'll be here."
On Monday, prior to Game 1 of the conference finals, Jackson modified the line he used in Oklahoma City, saying, "I'm leaning on a podium, that's about it," when asked about a radio interview with Fox Sports Radio's "The Petros and Money Show" when Jackson's stance seemed to waiver.
"Well I think it's pretty good," he said following a question about his chances of retiring after this season. "It's really about how I feel about getting into another 82-game season. It's a commitment."

Jackson is an overrated turd. Lets see him take the Kings or T Wolves and see what he can do.
Playoff series vs Popped: 4-1 Phil.
Do the Spurs have the most talented team in the league? Does Holt have a daughter he toss Phil's way?
Well that's settled.
How about Phil to New York?
phil will join lebron. book it
This should read Playoff series vs Popped: 4-1 Kobe.
And?
The guy has 10 rings. He has a winning record against almost everyone that has coached in the NBA for the last two decades.
Phil vs Hall of Famer and Fabbs Fave Pat Riley: 4-1
Phil vs Hall of Famer Jerry Sloan: 5-0
Look who does have a winning record vs Phil: Mike D'Antoni is 2-0 vs Phil. By Fabbs logic, D'Antoni must be a better coach than Phil.
So, I guess we should get D'Antoni to replace Pop. Except that Mike is 0-3 vs. Pop.
Who wouldn't coaching MJ and Kobe. Makes life a little easier.And?

Phil jackson ing sucks he doesn't even coach all he says is for kobe and mj to shoot , let see what he could do with the oakland grizzlies lets see if he could get them to a ncaa le
Exactly.
No it should read like this:
Kobe > Duncan
Kobe has won one in the last 7 years without Shaq, Tim has won 3, as the star of the team, so Duncan> Kobe!No it should read like this:
Kobe > Duncan
Kobe without Shaq wont get it done in TD's prime. Even with Gasol TD, in his prime, smokes Pau all game long.No it should read like this:
Kobe > Duncan
Shaq was the reason LA got that 3peat much more so than Kobe.
I am not sure who is more idiotic. Holt or Fabbs?
Phil cannot win without MJ and Kobe/Shaq. Why do yuo want him in SA?
Better: "Will the Spurs even consider Phil? " That's how it is.
And no, the spurs will not consider, because we have a great coach.
I'm not sure who is smarter. wijayas or a can of pinto beans?I am not sure who is more idiotic. Holt or Fabbs?
Phil cannot win without MJ and Kobe/Shaq. Why do yuo want him in SA?
'Popped cannot win with Duncan/GNob/Parker. Why do you want him in SA?
By Mel_13s logic, Rileys Knick and Heat teams had 3-4 HOFers just like Popped had.And?

Yeah,
How much are you personally going to pay Jackson, Fabbs?
By Mel_13s logic, Rileys Knick and Heat teams had 3-4 HOFers just like Popped had.
Yeah,
So, when Jackson beat Riley and Sloan it was because he had superior rosters and when he beat Pop it was because he was the better coach? Really?
Kindly explain how D'Antoni-led Suns team without Amare came back from a 3-1 deficit and beat a PJ-led Lakers team with a healthy Kobe?
Finally, your 3-4 HOFer bit is among the weakest Fabbisms of all. It is extremely doubtful that any Spurs team ever had 4 players, regardless of stage of their career, that would eventually end up in the HOF (the 2003 team is the only possibility and that team only had one player playing at even an All-Star level, let alone HOF level, and Pop beat a Phil team with two HOFers in their prime). There certainly were no Spurs teams among the four that lost to Phil that had that many players playing at a level one would associate with a HOFer. It is not a serious argument, but one must consider the source.
this should be locked....stupid stupid stupid. btw....kobe better than duncan? they play different positions you dumbass. kobe hasn't won anything without shaq or a loaded roster.
i figured i'd get this idiocy when i read that the thread was started by Fabbs.
kobe and duncan play 2 different positions....duncan is the best in history for his position...and kobe is not.....always behind MJ.....kobe was the 2nd option on the 3peat laker team...and kobe needs another superstar type player like gasol to even get noticed by the league....so stfu with ur lame explanations.....i hereby u live upto the expectations of being the clown of spurstalk with ur idiotic comparisons and argument...No it should read like this:
Kobe > Duncan
Jackson is going to coach Lebron in Chicago.
