Phil Jackson has officially signed a contract to return to the Los Angeles Lakers.The 11-time NBA champion coach announced on July 1 that he would return for what he called "the last stand for me" but it took until last week to finalize a new contract, according to a source close to the situation.

Terms of Jackson's new contract have not been released. A message left for his agent Todd Musburger Monday evening was not returned.

With Jackson's deal finally in place, the Lakers were able to quickly reach agreements with the rest of his staff. Longtime assistants Brian Shaw, Frank Hamblen and Jim Cleamons are returning and special assistant Chuck Person has officially been added to the staff.

The Lakers have improved since the end of the season and will dispose of "The 3 and dung" in Miami. :cool:

Time will tell, the only position starters wise the Lakers are clearly better at than the Heat is Center, and Miami is doing a nice job building a bench right now.

Gasol>>Bosh

Fisher/Blake>>Chalmers

Ron Artest and Matt Barnes will give LeBron fits with their defense

Gasol and Bosh are very even in some areas but I'd take Bosh any day, Arroyo will probably start and he and Fisher's stats are comparable and last but not least, to try and say that Artest or Barnes are in any way on a same level with LeBron is laughable!

Did I ever say they were on the same level, or even close to the same level. Reread my post.....:confused:

Last time Artest tried to check The King, he fouled out in a blow out and ended up falling down the stairs concussing himself later that night. LOL. He cant handle LeBron.

Matt Barnes plays pretty good D as well, at least thats what I've heard....

Are we talking regular season games again? :hand:

Last I remember Artest was the MVP in Game 7 of the NBA Finals vs the Boston Celtics.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
