Lakers coach Phil Jackson may have to take a pay cut if he wants to remain with the team over the long-term, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Jackson will make $12 million this season.

"People are cutting costs all around the league and coaches are obviously going to take a cut too, so they may not even want to hire me," Jackson said recently. "They may want to save some money."
