The Lakers are starting to catch shade as details emerge as to just how Phil Jackson was let go. Apparently, the Lakers gave Phil Jackson until Monday to make a decision on whether to return, then pulled the plug at the last minute. Needless to say, Jackson was surprised.
Phil's agent, Todd Musburger tells ESPNLA: "Don't say you've got until Monday, then roust him at midnight to say, We hired somebody else.'

The funny thing is, someone else was surprised, too: Mike D'Antoni.

Jemele Hill wasn't duped though.
Not surprised Lakers went w/ D'Antoni. Phil Jackson is not the same, health-wise. $11-12M a yr for a coach who can't coach all the road gms?

Truth.
One person probably not shocked at how the Lakers handled this coaching hire is Brian Shaw. He still can't believe the way he was treated.
