[kobeaki]

i really don't want JVG to coach the lakers

to be honest, i like his brother better...remember that heat team when lamar was still there? one the funnest teams to watch in the last decade...

Huh? What does that mean and or have to do with this?

My comment had to do with Phil's future plans.
One of my recent posted posts, I said that B. Scott along with having Rambis, Coop and Alcinder on staff would be a much needed change. That's what I meant, bring in a new Showtime back to L.A.... If you read the question I asked, "Do you really see Phil staying, key word staying, with the LAkers until he's done?" You responded, "yes". On your last post, you sounded as if he could retire for sure. Second point is, Phil has too much pride, listen to him. Phil has said that he hates traveling East or Central or Mountain times to play a game. I'm sure with the appropriate circumstance he'll be willing to coach a team 2 hours ahead of our time zone as his traveling would be less grueling, when you consider the time zone. Traveling East from the West sucks.

Disect this as you will. My point is, I don't see Phil beyond next season, be it retirement or otherwise, so, bring in B. Scott and Coop, Jabbar and Rambis are already LAkers; start a new LAkers dynasty, afterall, this is LAkers forum, not Phil's forum.

Right on. You make no sense. Well done.

LW1........................dude grow up. Travel has nothing to do with it, hell every coach travels in the NBA. They deal with it. It's the mental rigors that burn coaches out.

Phil_2.0, Elaborate for me, how do I not make sense. I mean for Phil to retire because his surgeries, plus he has made a boatload of money has nothing to with anything. If Hubie Brown could coach as his age and make the Grizzlies relevant while he was there. It's not like Phil is suiting up to play, his chair looks comfortable as hell. Travel has a lot to do with it.

Grow-up? Iraq helped me do that. This is a pleasure to think that I could still talk about our LAkers.

Travel has nothing to do with Phil's decision to continue to coach. In addition, Phil is not going to go to a young team to rebuild. Won't happen. He has the best job in the business. Anything else would be a step down.

He either coaches the Lakers or he hangs them up. To think he wants to coach somewhere else because of the travel is funny.

LOL at Hubie brown reference. You know he actually had to quit because he couldn't hack it anymore health wise, right?
