Phil Jackson has announced he's back to the Lakers this season.
Excellent news for those who support the LakeShow. :buttrock:

Comments? Thoughts?

I still think Kobe is a big baby, but at the same time, Phil is an excellent coach. Hopefully we will have a great season to look forward to next year.

Bah. This will be the season when Phil finds out that even *HE* can't work wonders with selfish star + 1 very good player + blah.

Too bad Phil can't suit up to help Kobe and Lamar out. They'll make the playoffs and improve, but they still won't contend for the title, and Phil will leave after 1 and 1/2 seasons, max, when it turns out that Kobe won't stop being a petulant whiner no matter what.

And yes, I'm including Luke Walton in "blah" above. Just barely, though- he could be pretty good this year.

I only ever liked the Lakers because of Shaq anyway. So good news for the fans I guess. Hell I don't even really like Basketball anymore.

the first thing they need to do is trade a bunch of players, odom is not effective with kobe (watch this last season), and butler = kobe light. they should also start luke walton, that guy can play given the chance.

if anyone can do it, phil can, the bulls were horrible and basically just had jordan for a few years.

i thought kobe had a breakout season if you overlook his inury, he averaged 25/6/6.
