Jackson's agent wasnt too happy. I have to say that the Lakers really should have waited until Monday and then told him. Calling him at midnight on Sunday night was classless.

"Phil is someone who brought nothing but trophies to their bookcase and value to the franchise," Musburger said. "He deserved to be dealt with honestly."

"He didn't deserve the job, that's their decision. They can hire whoever they wish. But don't say to someone you've got until Monday and then roust him from slumber at midnight to say, 'By the way we hired somebody else.' That's just not fair dealing and Phil deserved fair dealing. He's a good faith person and he was dealt with poorly. It is indicative of the shabby way that organization is being run."

Shabby, huh? lol



Sour grapes says what?

To be fair, that's not the only person I've heard say that

and those weren't Ninerjohn's words

I know those weren't his words. The quotation marks gave it away.

LOL The shabby comment wasn't mine. However, the classless way they treated Jackson was. I mean, seriously? Wake him up at midnight to tell him he didnt get the job? You would think that Phil Jackson, of all people, would get a little more consideration given all he has done in LA.

Then again, he is the guy that walked away from you twice, then came strolling back into the opportunity with outrageous demands. All the while being the guy that's f**king your daughter/sister.


Just sayin. I love Phil and wanted him more than anybody else, but I can look at it from both sides. As far as waking him up, it's better than waking up and seeing it on TV.

Can't wait to see their offense

I guess I'm wondering how the offense will do with this much talent, I'm sure it's the most he ever had.

The only problem I see for them on offense is - lack of solid outside shooters. They need a SF/PF who can shoot the 3

The need to give Kobe some run at 3 and give Meeks more time at the 2. I've been wanting to see that lineup since training camp, and haven't seen it once.

D'Antoni has to make Pau & Howard work together if we're going to win a title. In order to do that, you need 3 guys that can shoot in the other positions, IMO. Antawn Jamison should be valuable as that SF/PF you're talking about as well.

An Uptempo, high-octane offense with old legs and an ailing back, huh? This is gonna be interesting.
