It'd be great if we had a healthy Roy/Oden/Rudy/etc, but yeah...with this squad he's not the right choice unless we land a superstar in Free Agency. (Goran Dragic is not a superstar). But say we do land PhilJax....would that make Deron kind of think a little more about playing in Portland?

Thats all this is. his way of saying (to NY) hey, I'm interested, but you have to pay me more money.

I would love to have Phil Jackson as the coach, but in reality, he wouldn't come to Portland for all the money in Paul Allen's couch.

If I was Paul, I'd offer him anything he'd want. GM AND Coach? Sure.

30 million for 2 years? Sure.

All the pot you can have? Yes.
 
Phil Jackson coaching the current Blazers is even less likely than Deron Williams signing with the Blazers.

If he coaches again, it will be in Madison Square Garden as the coach of the Knickerbockers.
 
Phil doesn't coach a team unless they have one or more of the top five players in the league. I could see him going to Miami if they don't win the title this year. Riley is going to be impatient and either he'll can Spoelstra and coach the team himself, OR I think he'll go after Phil.

He's the LeBron/Melo/CP3 of coaching -- only big markets.

Funny thing is that LeBron spent 7 years in Cleveland, Anthony 7 years in Denver, and Paul 6 years in New Orleans, and they both went past their rookie contracts to stay in those small market cities before moving to bigger markets. 20 combined years, zero titles in small markets for that group.
 
The fact that he is open to coaching again suggests one thing. He will be back in LA next year.
 
Get Steve Nash and bring in Phil to get Nash a championship.
 
There ain't enough players that can play his game on this roster. Perhaps if Roy was still here with Nic and maybe the edition of Nash to help run the triangle it would be. But the team lacks some pieces for that to be efficient. I agree with the one poster. He will probably be back in LA some place. With the Clipps, most the likely the Lakers where his girl friend is at.
 
The word on PJax used to be that he couldn't rebuild. But he did rebuild. His Lakers won championships with Kobe/Shaq and after the rebuild with Kobe/Gasol.

I think he'd take the job if he was GM, too.

You have an unusual definition of rebuild.

LA lost the finals in 2003, then missed the playoffs or 1st round exit for 3 seasons (winning 34, 45, and 42 games), then won a championship again in 2008. 5 years it took.

And he bailed for the worst season of it, right after that Finals loss, when they traded Shaq.

Phil Jackson's overrated anyways. His team just quit on him.
 
If Allen offered $15M a year to the 66-year old, he'd coach here till he turns 70, or until he needs a year off for his next surgery, whichever happens first. Can we avoid tanking another year by hiring him, or would he be a diversion from real team development?
 
The article says Phil doesn't want to be known as a "ring chaser." I think it's very doubtful Phil comes to Portland, but if there is any truth to that statement I think we would have a chance.
 
If there was a franchise that him leading to a title could make him unquestionably the best coach of all sports, ever, it's Portland.
 
Phil's not coming to Portland. He's talked shit about Portland in the past.
 
Well let's see if the Knicks can once again can be more stupid than last year. If Phil wants to coach your team and you sign anyone but Phil your GM should be instantly fired while being punched by everyone in the organization on the way to collecting his things! Good shit, just hire the man like we have all been saying and let him grab his 12th ring! Moving on.....
