Jackson would make DeRozan instantly better, could be Heir Jordan or Heir Kobe as opposed to Heir VC.
Rudy Gay ain't no Scottie Pippen but he can be better scorer
Amir Johnson is no Horace Grant but he can be a better defender
Kyle Lowry is a lot better than John Paxon and BJ Armstrong
Jonas Valanciunas ain't Shaq but he can be a better scorer and hit the open jump shot
Bargnani will be traded along with T-Ross under Phil Jackson possibly for some key backup veterans
Give a year or two, the Raptors will make some noise in the NBA.

Jackson built himself through 4 of the greatest players of all time (Jordan, Pip, Kobe, Shaq).

I agree with Nilanka :O omg cant believe I just said that. Id rather the news be Raps pursuing coach Pop for GM position. the fact that this is leaked to Toronto looking for a GM brings up the possibility that Colangelo may not get fired but at the very least is walking on very thin ice and they are looking for a replacement GM, while BC continues to do the Can can on stage.

I'm torn because BC has done such an excellent job turning Toronto into a legit championship contender. I would hate to see him and Casey, who gave Toronto the top defense in the league, get the boot in favor of less talented people like Phil Jackson and Jerry SloanFor still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar

You can say that about every great NBA coach and GM. Popovich is nothing without Duncan; Riley nothing without Magic, etc.
If you really want an experienced GM (i.e. rookies make you nervous) I hear David Kahn is available...

The front office was probably inspired after reading my post from Feb. 20:
Despite the current win streak, making the playoffs is still a long shot. I believe that Colangelo will not be renewed as GM no matter. So contemplating who's next as GM, and not endorsing any particular candidate, I'm asking why not Phil?
