I'll eat your left shoe if he signs on. I don't see a scenario where he coaches the Pistons, even if he was given front office control as well.

Bleacher report is garbage but it's certainly entertaining when nothing else is going on.

We trade Monroe or Smith for a really good SG then sign LeBron in the summer, along with a few vets trying to win rings. That could at least be feasible right?

This times a 1000. Phil has never coached a rebuilding team and never will. He has a legacy as a great coach (even though he's had MJ, Scottie, Shaq, Kobe) and will not coach a bad team that could jeopardize that.

I suppose I should have clarified that to "realistic scenario", shouldn't I have?

Do you think a wizards fan would have believed Jordan would be on their team in 2001???

Re: Pistons looking at Phil Jackson as next head coach?
I believe Phil is a great coach, but what people say is true.
He's never developed a superstar.
Jordan, Shaq, Kobe, and Scottie were all ready made stars when he took over those teams. We have no idea how he'd handle a rebuilding situation. Closest we've seen to one is after Jordan retired the first time, and there was still a pretty well established core of veterans there.
Its a moot point, though. He's not coming out of retirement to put on a conductor hat for this trainwreck.

Well, this is true, but Jackson can turn a Melo type of player in a winning type of player. He's not very good developing young players, but he's very good developing stars into superstars.
