Lakers coach Phil Jackson may have to take a pay cut if he wants to remain with the team over the long-term, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Jackson will make $12 million this season.
"People are cutting costs all around the league and coaches are obviously going to take a cut too, so they may not even want to hire me," Jackson said recently. "They may want to save some money."

Give Phil a small percentage in the organization and 7 million a year. I think he can live on that.

I could have sworn I heard this from Phil months ago. Anyway, all Phil has to do is marry Jeanie and then he's in the family and owns the Lakers.

Jackson will NOT take a pay cut and why should he. Kobe wont take a pay cut either.
