Phil Jackson? (With Poll)

by blainessy on Feb 6, 2009 11:05 AM PST

The heights of Blazer glory are in front of us, and we sit with baited breath and rubber gloves in heated anticipation of KP's next move.

Picture for a minute, you're KP. You recieve a call from Phil Jackson who would like to join the blazers, and add to his rings total.

Do not question why, or whom he may bring along. Just consider him. Would you hire Phil Jackson?

Something smells fishy about this idea.

Yeah. Makes me want to "chomp" at the bit.

I would!

But then I work at a Funeral Parlor and I just think he could really help business pick up during an economic down turn…

Could work...

We have a possible future HOF SG that could possibly take a team to a championship. Exactly what Phil needs to win.

Never

I dont want to wait another 2 yrs for our guys to learn the triangle offense. Although Phil coming here would fit his profile, only joining ready made teams.

Pass on Phil.

I very much dislike the man. He’s so arrogant, wouldn’t fit our culture. Our owner does not have a daughter that he could date either.

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

I've never believed that Phil is a great coach...

rather that he’s had talent that led to the rings.

We have the talent and he has history of winning rings with talent.

Yes I would (I think I just threw up in my mouth).

Phil Jackson is among the league's elite coaches. No question about it.

That said, however, I would not hire him. We already have an elite coach. His name is Nathaniel McMillan.

I'd rather battle zombies with a spork.

His arrogance annoys the bejesus out of me.

No

Phil Jackson with the same record but ten years younger… yes.

My issue isn’t fill. I believe he has what it takes to get teams over the top and he’s proven that. My hesitation is his age and health vs Nate’s youth. Nate has many years. Why trade that for one or two?

Looking at other coaches, I don’t see any, yet, that I want more than nate for the long run.

The goal is not to be better, the goal is to be the best.

Do you trade...

Phil and the prospect of a ring, for Nate and 10 years of deep playoff runs without winning the title?

Since Nate says he wants to be like Sloan..

by tmundal on Feb 6, 2009 1:13 PM PST reply actions

no No NO!

Not even if he brought the sunshine and l@ker dancers with him. He has never won a ring without at least two of the 50 all time greatist players on the same team. His smerk and arrogance are as bad as Ray Allen’s.
