PHIL wasn't paid, Him and Gores are friends

But one source close to the situation told ESPN.com that Jackson's willingness to counsel Gores and Pistons president Joe Dumars as they weigh candidates to replace the ousted Lawrence Frank is an unpaid consultancy stemming from Jackson's friendship with Gores and "does not foreclose any options" with regard to the 11-time championship coach's intentions to find a new full-time NBA management job.

The Pistons, in a story on the team's website announcing Jackson's willingness to help, described the move as an "advisory role" designed "not (for Jackson) to assume a formal position inside the Pistons' organization."

"Phil Jackson is a friend and one of the best minds in the business," Gores said. "We are thrilled to have him as an adviser as we make some very important decisions for this franchise. Joe (Dumars) and I discussed this and he and I are in full agreement that this is a great opportunity."

:comeon: You really think Phil is doing consultant work in Detroit for free, friend or not

Yes I do, especially to a man where $ is no object. Provide a source to contradict it? there are quotes from both saying that it was free and based in friendship.

He didn't sign a contract or agree to terms to consult for a fee but I promise he was paid, probably not millions but he was paid
