    Not for Phil...his health is ok but deteriorating, thats why he is on a bunch of one year contracts...Phil is riding off into the sunset after he is done with the Lakers which could be at the end of this year....but I think at least one more year after this one.

    Its not in his personality to do what you proposed

    Yah, it's not his personality to go where the money is...which is why he didn't go to LA...because he's all about being pure of heart, and not into it for status and money...

    btw, isn't he on the end of a 2 year contract?

    He went to LA cause of money....and two guys named Kobe and Shaq who hadnt won a 'ship yet

    Mitch K (GM) was on the radio in the last week saying its all one year contracts....i think that also refers to the current year and not just going forward

    so he wouldn't then go to another city for money and helping a team win titles?

    And didn't he "retire" after Shaq was traded, because he didn't want to coach anymore or some such nonsense?
    Ok, Paul Allen can offer him 30 million for 1 year if he wants.

    no...his age, health, relationship, and everything he has said these last few years indicates that would be the last thing he would consider.

    Because of health concerns, and Kobe was more of a douchebag then than at any other point of his career....haters can also speculate that he didnt think the Lakers would be contenders anymore so he bailed


    That kind of ridiculous choice by your team would be par for the course. :devilwink:

    Don't let this go to your head, but you're probably right. On both accounts.
