LA Times - Lakers meeting with Phil Saturday morning, declined meeting with others

This is really exciting. Beyond basketball, I genuinely missed having Phil on the bench and as a presence in the media.

Phil coaching Nash + Howard will be awesome to watch.

He has to be excited for the opportunity to coach a roster like this.

I get that the team will be good, just don't understand what Nash will do in the triangle.

All over for the league as the Lakers are Finals-bound yet again. Junk like the Clippers will find themselves 10 games out of first in the Pacific in no time, and teams like the Spurs and Thunder will realize they are second tier.

Worst case scenario he's Fisher on steroids but I'm confident Phil won't peg him into a spot up shooting role. He'll tinker the offense to cater towards a ball handling PG for once.

Wow, David Robinson played Phil out.

Phil has already contacted some of his old asst coaches, source says.

Source close to Phil continues: "Phil's feisty. He gets feisty when he's ready to coach. He likes this Lakers team."

Chris Broussard ‏@Chris_Broussard
LAL & Phil getting close. Source close to Phil: "I can't imagine this not working out. Phil's health is fine now. That's no issue at all."

Well, if Chris Broussard say it........

If Phil comes back to the Lakers, i'll be pissed off. This just isn't fair.

That was cold on Robinson's part. I kinda feel sorry for Phil. LOL
