Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores has brought in legendary NBA mentor Phil Jackson, to help with his team's search for a new head coach, following the firing of Lawrence Frank last April.

:KING:

damn, i definitely didn't see this one coming. Having said that, is he still talking with the Raptors? If he is, fuck him. I want nothing to do with a dude talking with another team.

If he's really trying here I think Shaw becomes the coach.

If you don't trust your GM to make basketball decisions, then fire your GM.
Otherwise, let the man do his job.

With Phil having a relationship with Detroit now, and LA having to pay 80 million dollars in luxury tax fines next year even before they sign Howard again, I wonder if a player might be available from that LA roster that typically wouldn't be.. like.. ahem.. Kobe??? It makes sense for both teams, as long as Kobe waives his no trade clause.

Couldn't agree more. This is not good management. It already sounded like Gores had a lot to do with the hiring and firing of Frank.

Joe Dumars is just there for the Palace suite buffet. He doesn't care about making decisions.

Buffets are full of decisions, unless you are Joe Dumars, that is.
