Carmelo Anthony is pondering the most important decision of his NBA career. Should he stay with the New York Knicks, now without any coaches, or join forces with a new team in a new city? As a rabid basketball fan, I reserve the right to over-analyze anything that happens in the association. So join me as we look at every what-if, every possible, and every mindset scenario that may be currently bouncing around in the mind of Melo.

Mike D'Antoni named Lakers head coach; Kobe and Phil Jackson both suprised

Los Angeles - Lakers will name Mike D'Antoni as their new head coach to replace Mike Brown. This  was Phil Jackson's job to turn down, but never got the chance. Jackson's agent was scheduled to meet with the Lakers front office today to discuss compensation. At midnight, Mitch Kupchak and the Buss family switched gears and agreed to terms with D'Antoni. Sources close to the team say the move away from Phil was a concern that the new players will not be able to adopt the triangle offense made famous by Jackson as he won five championships with the Lakers and six with the Chicago Bulls. Kobe Bryant wad suprised by the but on board with the hiring.

Steve Nash played for D'Antoni in Phoenix and will be able to run the pick roll with Dwight Howard.

More details to follow...

Would Phil Jackson come back to coach Lakers with Howard, Paul and Bryant?

Phil Jackson has accomplished enough to retire forever from the game of basketball. But, doesn't the idea of having Dwight Howard and Chris Paul change his mind? Phil has had the luxury of coaching the best players in the NBA during their peak. From Michael and Scottie, to Kobe and Shaq, and even Kobe and Gasol have all been champions with Phil. You have to imagine that the idea of another pairing of Chris Paul and Dwight Howard and Kobe Bryant could arguably be the most talented team Phil could coach.

If you are the Lakers organization then you have to be on board with Jackson returning. Gutting the team for Paul and Howard is an all in move. If your going all in then go with a proven coach, not Mike Brown. Phil could only coach the home games and the playoffs if health is an issue. Phil ultimately will have the final decision. If he wants to come back nothing could really stop him. Is Dr. Buss really going to tell Phil Jackson and Laker Nation that Mike Brown is better?
