We know Phil is willing to coach. VDN is garbage as a coach. Phil gets to stick it to the Lakers for the BS they pulled with him.
It makes way too much sense.

Doesnt make sense at all actuallyComment -
if he really wants to stick it to jimbo buss, he would marry his sister and own a large chunk of the lakers.

How about NEVER?
Phil isn't going to coach the Clippers because he knows he can't win an NBA title there. And the ONLY way Phil would come back is if he thought he could win a title.
So, acutally, it doesn't make any sense at all...Comment -
clippers are in much better position than when phil returned to the lakers in 2005. sure they had kobe but they also had smush parker and kwame brown.... league's worst starters at their respective positions.
but i doubt he will coach them.Comment -
Phil does not like Donald Sterling one bit. He won't ever be employed by that man-- too many bad vibes, as Phil would put it.Comment -
No...What I said was, Phil will not come back unless he has a team that HE thinks can win a title. He's won titles with Kobe/Gasol, etc.
Look at all the titles Phil has won. What do they all have in common? MJ or Kobe, right? Who on the Clippers is MJ or Kobe? Answer: No one. Ergo, Phil's not coming back to coach the Clippers.Comment -
I actually believe the Clips are better than the Thunder but yes Miami is on another level (Miami isn't winning "the next 3 or 4" though..)
You also have to look at personnel- if Phil didn't hate Donald Sterling and bashed him every chance he got- there's not much basketball iq on the clips to run a triangle or even some hybrid of it.Comment -
That would be funny.
I heard he dont want to coach road games though?? Wouldnt that make the team disfuntional?Comment -
D'Antoni would have been PERFECT for the clipsComment -
I think phil is not fit in the NBA anymore. Maybe he's too old. He cant do the "C'mon Whistle" anymore. HahaComment -
We shall see, maybe the Knicks can come up with a team capable of beating them in a 7 game series, right now theres not a team that has a chance...I thought possibly the Lakers before the season after OKC gave up Harden would be their new threat but hell they're worse than they were beforeComment -
Yea that's why I wasn't willing to go 3-4 more but I agree. 2 years from now Lakers get someone athletic at the pg or I hope so.. lol
Notice how Darren Collison lit up Nash opening night but got shut down by Darius Morris.. thats more of an indication on how bad on D Nash is. Oh well, as a Laker fan I can only wish Dwight reaches 100% this season and they pick up Pietrus to defend someone..Comment -
Never thought of this...but no that you mention it after the way he was treated by the Lakers for an inferior coach...great idea for LAC. And he would beat the lakers with this LAC team tooComment -
We're talkin about who can beat Miami, I agree OKC without Harden is now vulnerable to LA (probably a 7 game series) but neither team could withstand the Heat in a 7 game series right now...sorry boss but there are several teams OKC, Spurs, Clippers, Grizzlies, Nuggets that will give the Lakers hell to win the West much less the championshipComment -
phil needs a team which can actually win the championship
clippers are not a championship team
blake griffin is way overrated as "superstar"Comment -
Same teams, hopefully the Lakers will be alot better but right now Im not sure how. What are they gonna do they have a completely veteran team and they just suck. Its not like you can teach Blake/Gasol/Nash to start playing defense, not like you can teach Howard to hit free throws, not like you can uninjure Kobe. Keep depending on that Gasol 20 footer and see how far you go in the playoffs
I mean honestly this team will get better through practice but this is not a championship teamComment -
how many games has nash played this season under mike d'antoni???? ...zero
when he comes back, lakers will be a totally different team...come playoffs, they will be the best team in west.
clippers have nobody on their team except chris paul...but lakers have 4 top notch guys.
lakers will probably win the series in 5 games against clippers in playoffs.Comment -
He played for Dantonio for years in Phoenix with Stoudamire, Shaq, you name it and did nothing...expect nothing better from a much older and worn out version of Nash than you got in the past...dude will turn 39 in February and ppl are talkin about him like hes still a superstar...get realComment -
you are comparing injury prone, weak ass amare and old fat lazy shaq ----- to kobe, gasol and howard ????
the lakers team is way way better than that suns team...that suns team had no superstars...this lakers team has 2 superstars in kobe and howard...and 2 all-star guys in nash and gasol.
amare was not even an all-star when he was in phoenix...and shaq was old and fat and was never meant for d'antoni's system.
trust me...it will be lakers-heat nba finals....or okc-heat finals if okc manage to beat lakers in west-conf finlas
clippers wont even get past 1st round....spurs, okc, lakers and memphis are all better..and they will face one of these teams in 1st round. Heck, I will even say that dallas is better than clippers when dirk comes back. They have reloaded pretty well this year.
You are over evaluating clippers. Blake wont do anything but fancy dunks...deandre is good for 5 blocks per game and thats it. Jamal crawford wont stay hot...he will decline soon..just watch. Odom will be joke and his days are over. Clippers have 1 superstar and rest of the team is mediocre. You will never win a championship with this clippers team....not even a palyoff series.Comment
That's a good point.
