Lakers Hire Byron Scott (4 years/$17 million)

[Smook A.]

Its on Twitter. Too bad Jeffrey doesn't let us embed tweets :/

[no pun intended]

So I guess the final chapter is here. Kobe's last hurrah will be with Byron Scott.

He'll be CoachBe's assistant coach. :applause:

Not sure what to expect, he had a successful tenure with the Nets. If Nash can walk, and Kobe still plays at a high level I'd be optimistic. Probably another transition year, we'll see.

playoffs or bust.

Good hire :applause: unfortunately his first few years will be wasted with a shit team

[sportsfan76]

This is obviously THE most important issue.


Right Kobe fa- I mean, "Laker" fans?

[sammichoffate]

Least it's not Mike "No Defense" D'antoni or Mike "No Offense" Brown. I actually think he'll do a decent job if he shores up the defense. That's the difference between being in the lottery again or being respectable. I don't see the Lakers making the playoffs though, unless several teams in the West get wrecked by injuries or if the Lakers pull a miracle off like Phoenix did last season.

My niggah.

He texted me and typed he is looking forward to the challenge.

Don't forget , he is the mid arm wrist band wearer.


Great teammate. Thinking of joining him on the bench.

[HomieWeMajor]

Didn't this guy used to be a crip ?

Didn't this guy used to be a crip ?

O.g, 80's showtime crippin , cuz.
