Phil just seems to be trolling in my opinion. Like other posters have said, I find it really unlikely that he goes to a team other than the Lakers. If Phil wants to coach this team, and Buss Jr. is okay with it, then I'm all for it. But I do not want to see Phil as GM, I feel like he'd fail miserably with that role for some odd reason.

The Seattle owners were rumored to want Phil Jackson, if they are able to move the Kings there.

Not only will the Seattle owners try to get a great front-office presence to set the tone for how the organization is operated, but they're going to go after one of, if not the greatest coach in NBA history. Peter Vescey tweeted that Phil Jackson is a target for the organization to be a part of the front office:

Source says almost living lock Phil Jackson will become front office face of Seattle-bound Kings' franchise. Won't coach. Will mentor choice

now that Jeanie is officially an owner and not an employee she will have a say in the Bball side of the house.
