Phil Jackson has become more interested in returning to the NBA, either as a coach or a member of a front office, according to sources.

Jackson is intrigued by a management position for the first time in his career.

He is "itching" to return, according to a source. He last coached with the Los Angeles Lakers two seasons ago.

It remains to be seen what sort of opportunity Jackson might have in the league, the sources stressed.

I think he'd be a good GM for Toronto

With the core TO currently has and how they've played as of late, it would shock everyone and they would probably be successful enough to get deep into the playoffs with a coach of his caliber.

Phil Jackson in Cleavland, with Irving....talk about next gen threat...

If they get Lebron back or not, Cavs are going to be the best team and Jackson would make them that much better.

Phil Jackson only coaches teams with the best players in the league at the time; MJ, SHAQ, KOBE. That's why he is the winningest coach; he rides superstars coats tails. There are no proven coat tails in Cleveland to ride... so he won't be going there...

Nonsense.
