<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Phil Jackson's coaching staff is becoming more clear, with Frank Hamblen and Kurt Rambis expected to fill two of the four spots reserved for assistant coaches, a team spokesman said Tuesday. Contracts have not been signed, but what was logical from the day Jackson was hired will officially take place shortly after the team's other two assistants are determined by Jackson. Candidates for those positions include Brian Shaw and Scottie Pippen, both of whom played for Jackson. Phil has not hired anyone yet but it's likely Frank Hamblen and Kurt Rambis will be back as full-time assistants," Laker spokesman John Black said. Jackson has a strong comfort zone with Hamblen and Rambis, who have spent a combined 11 seasons at his side.</div> Source
I like the other two options, Shaw and Pippen. Both of them know the triangle as best as anybody out there. I think they would help out the Lakers a lot, especially Pippen with Odom.
