Is everyone ruling out Phil doing a favor and going to Charlotte with MJ to help turn the Bobcats around? after all MJ is the reason he has 6 of those rings.

Just my opinion but I don't see Jackson, after having spent his time in LA with a blank cheque, will be impressed with the idea of financial decisions trumping basketball decisions. Not saying MLSE is opening the vault but the vault reserves are much more plentiful should they be needed.

Other than the Jordan connection, I can't see any reason why that situation would be appealing, except that he'd definitely at least get to choose a coach.
Charlotte lands Phil he gets:
30 million in cap (correct me on this)
Ability to appoint a new coach
Working with a player he has utmost respect for
Establish an identity
Draft picks

With the talk of Jackson and Charlotte, one has to wonder how that makes Rich Cho feel. From what I remember last year when he took the job in Charlotte it was a condition he have full basketball control (I can't find any mention of that from a quick google search).

Cho took over an awful mess in Charlotte and anyone there will need time to straighten the situation out.

I would be happy with Phil taking a Riley role with this franchise. He is well connected and very knowledgable. I would assume that he'd immediately hire Brian Shaw and institute the Triangle on offence, which would necessarily be a bad thing. With Lowry's game being more of a scorer than distributer, we could run the triangle with him, Gay and JV/Amir.
He would bring more respectability to the franchise and might even be able to land us a free agent in the near future. Something no other GM has been able to doHeir, Prince of Cambridge

If Leiweke manages to get us out of this hole, and I'm not talking by just getting Phil, but if he's actually able to change the fortunes of this team I may have to dedicate a small portion of my home to create an altar where I can worship him.

The team has also never had ownership that actually cared about winning. So yeah, I would say how the organization was run was the biggest problem. They only cared about money, which hasn't really been a problem since the Carter era. When ownership doesn't care about team success, the team will never experience a high level of success.

Curses are viable to some interesting story unrelated to the Raptors.... 18 years of straight loses is a long time really will make a person believe in that kind of thing lol.
