Phil Jackson is feeling healthier than he has in years, which begs the question of whether he might continue coaching the Lakers beyond the current season.

"I feel really good," he said Thursday. "I have a device that really takes away a lot of the discomfort that I've had. That's a real big relief for me as far as just having to deal with some issues when I stand or walk. I'm much better that way.

"As far as the edema that I was kind of suffering from flying, obviously, we haven't been out on the road very much, but that's well-controlled."

Jackson wants to remain focused on the current season.

"It's all about the season, playing together and how we're going to do," Jackson said. "I think that's the only way you can address it right now."
