All eyes are on the Lakers after one of their worst seasons in the history of the organization and Laker General Manager Mitch Kupchak is feeling the heat.

Mr. Kupchak considers ex-Laker coach Phil Jackson as an option to fill the Laker coaching void.

"[Jackson] has spoken to us," Kupchak said. "We've met with him on occasion. He was in our building a couple of times in the last two or three weeks. In fact, I was at my desk a week ago and he came in and sat down and we talked for about 45 minutes.

"The job has not been offered to anybody. At this point in time, I would characterize our relationship with Phil as casual. The interest, or the possibility remains, that he would be a coach for this team.

"The fact that he's in the building, attending games with our owner in his box, and stopped by to say hello to me, I think that indicates there's some interest there. What level of interest I really don't know."
