Lakers Coach Byron Scott

[HammerDown]

No doubt his dream job.

Jim Buss did something right for once. Who knew?

Good hire.

 

[Retroram52]

Now we have to wait for the acceptance and the big presser.

 

[HammerDown]

Can he last through the rebuilding and take the purple and gold back to the promised land where they belong? No doubt Magic endorses this hire.

I like the hire. I wasn't big on him when the job first opened up, but I've come around and am happy that he's going to be the coach.

I'll miss ridiculing the two previous Lakers coaches. For Scott's sake, I hope the Lakers understand he's not going to have this team in contention immediately.

Considering that Mitch has been preaching patience and they didn't get Lebron or 'Melo, I'd think they should understand that.

Unless, of course, they bring in the rest of the Showtime Lakers and a hot tub time machine.

We're keeping Pat. You can't have him back.

I agree here... He has had success but he had Jason Kidd and CP3... When faced with a young team and Kyrie it didn't go well... However, according to Deng that Cleveland locker room was a mess and many of them were their with Scott so can't give him all the blame... Maybe there was a mutiny... That won't be the case here... Kobe and many other professional players are here even the young ones... This could be a very good hire, and he was a great Laker, you gotta love that part of it... Here's the first step...

Pat likes the Heat because he, like the Icon, is working the championship model. Also, Pat isn't going anywhere due in part to the fact that Mrs. Pat likes South Beach as well.

I don't think there was anyone out there that was any better, and I believe this was a good fit made to order. The Lakers finally got something right

One of the things that won me over is how badly he wants the job. He's been lobbying for it since day 1. It seems like he's done everything but publically beg for the job. That tells me that this isn't just another coaching job to him.

I think B. Scott will incorporate many ex-Lakers in his staff as well as consultants. People like Mark Madsen and Kareem will be around and Gary Payton will be one of his assistants. I see Scott eventually enticing Steve Nash to retire as a player and become a coach. I think Nash is now a Laker to the core and although it is very doubtful he'll see a championship as a player, if he sticks around, he may see one as a coach.

I would like nothing more than to see Nash as a Lakers coach.

Irving is a bit of a headcase...
