Pistons looking at Phil Jackson as next head coach?

Directly from Bleacher Report. I don't think it's possible, but if Gores manages to do that...
Here's the article:

Cards on the table: It’s highly unlikely the Detroit Pistons bring in legendary head coach Phil Jackson to leads the team back to prominence.

But it doesn’t mean they won’t try, according to NBA.com’s David Aldridge.

Aldridge speculates that Pistons owner Tom Gores, who tabbed his good friend Jackson to advise the team during its coaching search last summer, “will again kick Phil Jackson's tires to see if he'd coach.”

“It's still hard, though, to see Big Chief Triangle going to Detroit for anything less than full control of the front office and a piece of the team -- and no coaching,” Aldridge writes.

It’s difficult to believe Jackson, 68, could be convinced out of retirement to coach a team in turmoil such as the Pistons, but we suppose it’s worth a shot. He has won 11 NBA championships as a head coach, including six with the Chicago Bulls and five with the Los Angeles Lakers.

But again, this is educated speculation.

■ More Aldridge: Aldridge also wrote this of Pistons big man Greg Monroe, who’s been the target of plenty of NBA trade buzz since the start of the season:

Yet the Pistons aren't going to move Monroe unless it's a blockbuster deal. Offering just expiring contracts won't get it done. The hope in Detroit is that Monroe's situation is resolved in similar fashion to how Oklahoma City eventually worked out a four-year, $49 million contract with Serge Ibaka before he hit free agency. (The Thunder had the obvious advantage of having Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook as lures to play with through the meat of Ibaka's career.)

If (agent David Falk) finds a team ready to give Monroe the max or something close to it, expect Detroit to match the offer sheet and worry about the money later. At worst, you'd have a 24-year-old, 6-foot-10 power forward under contract that you'd then be able to shop. The Pistons had to lose a lot to wind up with top-10 picks in three straight Drafts. Those assets mean more to them than they probably do to others.

Lol no way. I'll eat my shoes if it happens. Plus, Jackson doesn't want to coach teams that aren't good.

Give Loyer at least this season and maybe we'll see how it goes.

I see no one in this thread knows how to read. The report was from David Aldridge, not Bleacher Report.

[DETermination]

Don't know about coaching but how about offering phil a gm position?

I read the article earlier today and knew it came from Aldridge.

[dVs33]

I can't see it happening. And i'm not sure i'd be behind him coming in. He doesn't seem to be interested so if he's coming in for the money and half hearted, we could be in for a mess.

Let me rephrase that...I see no one in this thread know how to comprehend what they are reading lol.

The point is Bleacher Report didn't create the report. They just quoted an Aldridge report. So unless you are saying that any credible source automatically becomes uncredible if another news outlet quotes them, I don't see what it matters that their name is attached to this story.

If you doubt David Aldridge thats one thing, but to just dismiss the report because it was quoted in Bleacher Report makes no sense.

1. Bleacher report has 0 credit when it comes to reporting, though there moving towards a more legit reporting site, they are still a joke

2. Phil Jackson is actually a more realitisic option than we think. HE's really good friends with Gore, and if returns to coaching wants control of the personnel. IE GM'ing. I don't even think Joe D works for the pistons anymore. So our chances are actually 15% of gettin phil as oppose to what everyone thinks as 0%

For the record
