Jackson would not go to Chicago without Lebron. Lebron would not go without Phil. Who would commit first??????

I don't think Phil is going to leave LA... He has a really good thing going for him, and his love for Kobe and everyone else.. Just don't see him leaving all of that behind.

If this is true, which its not, Chicago would be fined big time.

how would they be fined?? they didn't talk to Phil directly just to a party that's close to him....Jerry Bus wanting Phil to take a Huge Pay Cut could change Phil's Mind!

that's what the story on ESPN says! but wouldn't any other team that reached out to another coach while they were in the playoffs, weren't they be fined also???

what about the assistants that are in the playoffs and are supposedly getting interviewed by other teams?

Who is getting interviewed on other teams when their team is still playing?
