Latest On Phil Jackson

Phil Jackson is taking his time when it comes to deciding on his basketball future, and a source close to the situation told Marc Stein of ESPN.com that the possibility of the Kings moving to Seattle could have something to do with it.  The Seattle group appears to have an uphill battle on their hands but Jackson may be waiting for the possibility to be completely ruled out before giving serious thought to where to he wants to be next season. 

It was reported recently that Jackson and principal Seattle investor Chris Hansen "hit it off" in a recent meeting.  Meanwhile, sources say the Raptors continue to pursue Jackson and believe they have a shot to land him as team president thanks to his relationship with newly minted exec Tim Leiweke

The Raps, though, are still in flux as they have yet to announce a decision on current team president Bryan Colangelo. One source briefed on the process expects the call on Colangelo's to come down this week in advance of the Chicago pre-draft camp.  Jackson, who doesn't seem to be interested in coaching again, presumably wouldn't be a fit if Colangelo is retained for 2013/14.
