07:44 AM ET 07.17 | Phil Jackson has interest in joining the Trail Blazers in a non-coaching role, a source close to the legendary coach said, but it is unclear whether owner Paul Allen has interest in Jackson. "Phil would be interested in talking about a possible role in the organization," the source close to Jackson said. "My sense is there is a lot Phil can offer by being there, be it handling players, advising trade scenarios, managing coaching staff ... I think he would be a tremendous adviser to the owner."

There's no way I would go near that organization if I was Phil. That Team is cursed. Sam Bowie, Bill Walton, Greg Oden, Brandon Roy, Coach Nate, all have had career ending injuries and Aldridge has a heart condition. I'm just saying.

Translation: I don't want to actually do anything anymore but I'd still like somebody to pay me too much money.

A few good coaches have moved into a GM role and done well.
The list is not long, but there are a few out there...
Pat Riley is one name that comes to mind, Larry Bird another.

I'm thinking after being paid $6 million-$10 million per year by the Lakers, Phil can afford to continue eating fancy meals, staying in the best hotels, and flying first class without getting another job.

He once won a championship with the Knicks. When was the last time you heard championship and Knicks in the same sentence?
