    NBA N/P Byron Scott Officially Lakers New Coach


    "The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin

    Like the guy but he never saw why he'd make an okay coach. 4 years is a long contract for a team still paying for 2 past head coaches still.

    That's 3 coaches they will be paying in one season, right? And only one will actually be coaching.

    They bought out the others.... so they are only paying 1. But that's still a lot of money to be paying out to coaches on a yearly basis

    That's still mind blowing, but I guess their philosophy is "shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land among the stars.... sooner or later"

    Byron is not a bad temporary option if they just want to Keep Kobe quiet. Once Kobe goes blow it all up and find yet another coach lol

    How long you think until Kobe decides he wants to be the coach?

    I actually don't think it's a bad hire. Think about it, the Lakers are pretty much in purgatory for the next two years and are already paying 2 other coaches and no shot to win the championship. So you bring in a low risk guy like Scott to take a bunch of vets thrown together to play. Next year's pick is top 5 protected, which would be finishing worse than they did last year with a worse roster and without Kobe. So i'm assuming they see that and want to make that as bad as can be and while we know Scott isn't the best coach, you know what you're getting. Scott's contract is 3 years with a 4th year option and they can easily fire him once Kobe's contract is up and start fresh. I thought it was a pretty good hire but maybe 1 year too long.

    And to add to this, what coach in their right mind even wants that job right now? It's a no win situation.

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    I thought I heard that the Lakers had an out in his contract after just one year? Maybe just me or the guy I got the third-hand information from heard it wrong.

    Otherwise, your thoughts echo my own.

    Here;s where I read it:

    http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/s...ome-head-coach

    Sources told ESPN that Scott agreed to a four-year, $17 million contract with the Lakers, who hold a team option on the final year of the deal.
