Introducing the Blazer's Next GM...

[SlyPokerDog]

The Vulcans have already stolen one head coach out of LA this year, why not go for a second one?

Phil did say that he still loves basketball but isn't sure if he can handle the grind of a full NBA season anymore.

I know it ain't going to happen but could you imagine Nate getting the phone call from PA telling him that Phil Jackson was the new GM?

It wouldn't surprise me to see Phil take a year or two off, and come back to either coach of GM. It also wouldn't surprise me to see him retire for good, or play the sports medias for saps and come back to the Lakers after they've created this story that he was 99% retired and only came because Kobe begged and pleaded and other LA movie script horse shit.

But, as our GM...It would be an interesting choice though.

When has Jackson ever shown any interest in GMing?

 

[Denny Crane]

Jackson wanted to coach/GM for the Bulls at the end of the 2nd threepeat.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Well then, I hope someone lets him. But not us. Cleveland really should give it a shot.

(Besides, that was probably just to stick it to Krause. The man who gave him his first job and introduced him to basketball genius Tex Winter.)

When you have money and star power in LA, and you are old and tired.....you don't move north. You enjoy your life on the beach.

For all the bitching Phil does about Portland's weather, I'm having a hard time seeing him leaving the glitz and glam of L.A. for Podunk Orygon.

Of any city in the NBA Portland has to be the Zen'iest. To someone like the Zen Master Portland is his retirement fantasy, lol.

His long time friend and guru, Tex Winter is already living in Salem year around now.

If he does retire we should at least hire him during the playoffs to do that cryin' about the refs to the media for us.

Yet doesn't he spend a good portion of his off season fly fishing in Montana?

I'm just messin' around anyway, it would be a bold move by the Blazers but a lot of the fan base would not react well to it at all. It would like the if the Vatican were to ask Obama to be the next Pope.

Montana in the summer is fantastic.

No sheep?!? But what the hell would I do with my velcro covered gloves and jar of Vaseline?
