Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Thu Jun 20, 2013 4:58 am

Phil Jackson has been in touch with Mitch Kupchak on multiple occasions over the past few weeks to discuss the Los Angeles Lakers.

Jackson has taken on an informal role of consultant.

"Even though he doesn't have an official role with us, he's a consultant of sorts," said Kupchak.

"We discussed some things, me and Mitch in the past couple of weeks, bouncing things around," said Jackson.

The Lakers sought out Jackson's opinion and he said that there is no issue with Kupchak or Jim Buss.

Mo Cheeks wasn't Phil's recommendation. That was the Gore's in their infinite wisdom.

The yellow tie.

Phil's HUGE smile about if he would coach the Lakers if D'Antonie had to leave.

Phil's comments about bringing the Lakers back to glory. Phil sounded like the GM or Jerry Buss at the Time Warner party. He is onboard. LOL at Mitch saying Phil was more pissed about being woke up than about Jim Buss going with D'Antonie. You know Jeanie Buss was like, my idiot brother shaking her damn head.

Phil's a member of Lakers team building = we are back on the right track. And we have a 2006 Pat Riley situation if Mike has "medical problems" or "wants to spend time with his family".
