We'll be lucky to win 20 games this year. NBA lottery should be fun to watch this year.

He must be a great interview or something, because his teams are just not that good.

Hire another proven loser.
At least you'll have more exciting games. Losing 130-120 is better than losing 90-85

Seriously Phil wanted too much money? Really?
The tv contract they get covers their whole roster plus the luxury tax they owe. How do you not open the wallet for Phil Jackson??? FFS!

ESPN said this morning that money was never discussed between Jackson and the Lakers. No way to know if that true or not though. But, hell yes he'd want and deserve a boatload of money. The guy has more championship rings than fingers. People like that don't come cheap. I really think the Lakers blew this one pretty badly.

There should be a rule. No head coaches named Mike coaching the Lakers!

From what I've heard it wasn't so much money as it was player/roster control... Phil wanted total control... Still should have given it to him

How do you pick a guy that's been fired twice over Phil Jackson?
I guess they can always hire Jackson later this season when they fire D'Antoni

Life long Lakers fan here. At first I was stunned along with Phil. But the more I think about it, I think it was a good decision. Why would you build a team for championships now, and then hire another system coach, when your players are already struggling to pick up a similar system? Put it this way. Kobe loves him some Phil Jackson. If he's excited about this hire, that's probably a good sign.

"I love him," Kobe Bryant said of D'Antoni via email early Monday. Bryant wouldn't comment on Jackson.

How is a system that preaches running the floor and shooting 3s going to be a good style for a roster of guys 30+ and no shooters with a weak bench. This is gonna be hilarious.
