08:10 AM ET 05.17 | Phil Jackson leaves a long shadow behind in Los Angeles. So the primary consideration when it comes to hiring Jackson's replacement now is being certain the new guy is ready for the concert hall. That's why even though Brian Shaw remains the best choice, it really does make sense for the Lakers to hire Mike Dunleavy. Make no mistake, Dunleavy is very much in line for an interview and expected be a serious candidate for this job. Yes, yes ... it sounds crazy for the Lakers to take in the Clippers' retread. But aside from Dunleavy having to agree to throw away all those ugly sportcoats he wore with the Clippers if he gets to coach Staples Center's and the NBA's marquee team, there's no major impediment here.
