re: What are the chances D'Antoni gets fired and they bring Phil in?

Why would you even want Phil Jackson?? The guy has checked out. He doesn't want to go on road trips or to shootarounds on game day. He basically wants to do a half-@#% coaching job.

When you say you're not willing to do the things that will make your team as good as it can possibly be, it means you've checked out already. And that's perfectly ok, he's earned his time to take it easy. But you don't want him taking it easy while he's "coaching" your team. He's not the Phil Jackson of 20 years ago.

And to the poster above me, yeah they need him on road trips. This Lakers team has already proven that they don't have the heart to play hard unless they have a fire lit under them. They can't be trusted to motivate themselves.
