The Clippers going after Phil Jackson is like the ump-teen NFL teams that went after Bill Cowher

At some point you just need to accept he doesn't want to coach anymore,

because he's already turned down jobs better than you.

Responses:

everyone close to the Lakers in the local media is convinced he would have returned last year if they had made him an offer -- nm - charlie May 21, 12:48
not sure i agree. i think he does want to coach again, and the clips might be tempting... - x May 21, 12:48
No, the LA angle is *huge*. -- nm - Spawn May 21, 12:46 17
- Jeanie Bus has him tied to the Lakers. They are getting married, so I can't see him working for a rival -- nm - Bacon May 21, 12:49 15
  - except he hates her brother and the GM -- nm - charlie May 21, 12:49 14
    - I get this part but I could only see him using another team for leverage. - Bacon May 21, 12:51 13
      - And if they do *not* budge, he is a Clipper. See? -- nm - Spawn May 21, 12:53 10
        
        Strictly from a player standpoint the Clippers is the better job. But if you throw in owner operations the Lakers job is better -- nm - Bacon May 21, 12:55 8
        
        the Lakers are going to be not very good for probably a not very short time -- nm - charlie May 21, 12:58
        
        I honestly can not see Phil *wanting* the Lakers now. - Spawn May 21, 12:56 6
        
        As a coach yes. As a rebuilding GM or Consultant it's a good job. - Bacon May 21, 12:58 5
        
        right. they have lots of options if they can convince kobe to take the amnesty... - x May 21, 13:00 4
        
        From what I have heard, that will not happen. -- nm - Spawn May 21, 13:03 3
        
        I think it depends on if they can keep Dwight. Lose him and you might as well blow it up -- nm - Bacon May 21, 13:04 2
        
        and that said, I think they are better off losing Dwight. I think big men with injuries only get worse over time. - Bacon May 21, 13:05 1
        
        If Phil had been coach, no way would Dwight have ever been there. -- nm - Spawn May 21, 13:27
        
        right, and i sort of think that's the crux. it might come down to whether jim buss will step down or get forced out by that leverage...nm - x May 21, 12:54
      - Not sure how much insider information Magic Johnson has but he has hinted to this scenerio multiple times -- nm - Bacon May 21, 12:51 1
        
        magic johnson tends to have more insider information that anyone in the nba, really....nm - x May 21, 12:52
- We'll see. -- nm - Strongbad May 21, 12:48
