As the dust is settling over the big coaching move of hiring Mike D'Antoni over Phil Jackson, Laker fans need to ask themselves, "Did Jim Buss create a dangerous enemy?". Think about it, Phil Jackson was that close to coaching again and the Laker organization pulled the rug on him. Im sure that probably will motivate Phil to coach a different franchise. Imagine the alliance of Phil Jackson and Mark Cuban with the Mavs. Or Phil Jackson coaching Durant and Westbrook in OKC. Even the big 3 in MIA. Fact is Jim Buss and the Laker organization wronged Phil Jackson and those coaching urges are creepin up. Lets see whats next

Phil will only go to a situation where he can win now. The only worry I have is him going to the Heat if Spoelstra slips up.

Brooks will be in OKC a long time. The Mavs are not an option because they aren't a win now team.

I can see PJ going to OKC. If Brooks don't get the job done and they can him why wouldnt OKC managment look to pair KD and Westbrook with Phil.

[MadSci]

Possibly but I think its highly unlikely.

[iDreamShake]

i think brooks is a coach for the future, and jackson is a 2year max coach,,,so i dont see phil coaching there... maybe the clips,or mia

[lakerfan0307]

If anything I could see Phil going to the Clippers. Vinny Del Negro hasn't been everybody's favorite and they have some undeniable talent in CP3, Blake Griffin, Crawford, etc. Not to mention he would prefer to coach in LA. If there is any team looking to do ANYTHING that it can to win a championship it would be them. They will always be considered the lesser LA team and they might want to change that slightly.

[TronVader]

Really? You guys think a team that just let their 6th man walk can afford to pay PJ spaceship money?

He isn't going anywhere for less than a kings ransom

[Henny Loc]

Phil and the Clips would be scary but PJ and Don Slumlord Sterling dont get along

True, but also don't forget that Phil and the Buss' don't get along either, and he almost came back for the third time. True professionals don't allow their personal lives to interfere with business.

For some reason I could see Mark Cuban trying to get PJ to coach the Mavs just cause hes the ultimate Laker hater but your right though

Now I think that is one rivalry that could never be forgotten. Those guys hate each other.

[last stand 2.0]

depends. i think phil on the clippers would be scary but they have no post players whatsoever. good luck running the triangle. also phil is 67 going on 70. he's not really at an age to keep coaching. he's older now

[Lakers4Life]

Only place he can go is Miami. Spoelstra won a championship he is in the safe zone. Not to mention if he did it was a STRETCH considering Pat Riley is the GM/president.

[NasWutangKB24]

i highly doubt he'd go to OKC
if they were too cheap for Harden then there's no way they'd spend that much on a coach

that would be [expletive]ed up if he went to Miami though

Really.. You can see Blake running the triangle with all does post moves he has. Or Paul,because Phil like small guards. That's a very athletic team don't think the triangle will fit

Can't see him in either. Don't think lebron or wade would want to work the ball inside out. I can see Phil coaching a team like the celtics Memphis spurs Knicks

Phil is not a [expletive]!

Im on for it..he will go to the Knicks. But for his own reasons not because to step the lakers in the back!

Pretty sure he already turned down the knicks

Imagine the alliance of Phil Jackson and Mark Cuban with the Mavs.

I can't quite picture that.

[SoCalSpider]

Just read an LA times story quoting Phil saying he has no interest in coaching another team. No vengeance to come.
