If Allen offered $15M a year to the 66-year old, he'd coach here till he turns 70, or until he needs a year off for his next surgery, whichever happens first. Can we avoid tanking another year by hiring him, or would he be a diversion from real team development?
The article says Phil doesn't want to be known as a "ring chaser." I think it's very doubtful Phil comes to Portland, but if there is any truth to that statement I think we would have a chance.
If there was a franchise that him leading to a title could make him unquestionably the best coach of all sports, ever, it's Portland.
Well let's see if the Knicks can once again can be more stupid than last year. If Phil wants to coach your team and you sign anyone but Phil your GM should be instantly fired while being punched by everyone in the organization on the way to collecting his things! Good shit, just hire the man like we have all been saying and let him grab his 12th ring! Moving on.....
