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.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
