Actually surprising.

What's a "retread", exactly? Wasn't Byron a "Retread"?
Apr 25th 2016
13
      Yes he was.
Apr 25th 2016
16
           What are your thoughts on Luke?
Apr 25th 2016
29
                Aside from knowing LA...

milly rockin thru the post
Apr 24th 2016

Ran to OKS like Willie Gault to post this & ask O.E. to get in here.
Apr 24th 2016
5
Lol what is there to explain exactly?
Apr 25th 2016
10
      He earned the right to coach a Kobe-less team with developed talent
Apr 25th 2016
20
           It's that simple.
Apr 25th 2016
21
           What did he "develop"?
Apr 25th 2016
26
                You're in the midst of developing another meltdown
Apr 25th 2016
30
                No, but i'm sure you're hoping to lead another dogpile
Apr 25th 2016
35
                     *record scratch*
Apr 25th 2016
50
                          False.
Apr 25th 2016
52
                               You're embarrassing yourself. Let go.
Apr 25th 2016
57
                                    Point me to one statement that I’ve made to support that claim.
Apr 25th 2016
61
                                         You in here blaming Byron for the bad Lakers D....LULZ
Apr 25th 2016
63
                                              Byron said he made sure they knew how bad they were defensively.
Apr 25th 2016
71
                                                   That didn't make a grain sense. Edit before the hour is up.
Apr 25th 2016
72
                                                        Smart. You know most people won’t read past the header.
Apr 25th 2016
74
                                                             It's incoherent. Byron had the rooks playing excellent in order to tank?
Nov 29th 2016
256
                And he developed a rookie pf that averaged a double double
Apr 25th 2016
34
                     You mean the guy he benched as he started to go on a tear?
Apr 25th 2016
39
                          No the guy he benched and improved because he was benched.
Apr 25th 2016
41
                               lol
Apr 25th 2016
42
                                    ^^^what not having a point sounds like
Apr 25th 2016
44
                                         Yeah, that was a pretty big L.
Apr 25th 2016
47
                                         In what way did benching him make him better?
Apr 25th 2016
51
                                              Damn, you backtracking and frustrated. Lulz
Apr 25th 2016
55
                                                   Frustrated? Backtracking?
Apr 25th 2016
60
                                                        Dog, you trying to blame Byron for defensive woes. Lulz
Apr 25th 2016
62
                                                             Byron told them how bad they were defensively.
Apr 25th 2016
73
           agreed.
Apr 25th 2016
85
inevitable
Apr 24th 2016
6
he did his job. he lost as many games as he could.
Apr 24th 2016
7
It was bound to happen but I thought it would be a year from now
Apr 24th 2016
8
I thought theybhad a team option this year
Apr 25th 2016
11
      you are correct, so this thread is a total non-story
Apr 25th 2016
92
well....
Apr 24th 2016
9
This was essentially a coin flip.
Apr 25th 2016
12
Truth. Now - Kevin Ollie, please! nm
Apr 25th 2016
18
Turns out they just didn't pick up his option.
Apr 25th 2016
14
Mitch is staying and Ryan West (assisant GM, son of Jerry) is next in li...
Apr 25th 2016
17
Doesn't matter. It's still wrong.
Apr 25th 2016
19
What does that have to do with the Lakers?
Apr 25th 2016
25
      Everything
Apr 25th 2016
33
           Such as?
Apr 25th 2016
38
                Byron should have the chance to coach, as Brett Brown does
Apr 25th 2016
48
                     What does Brett Brown have to do with this?
Apr 25th 2016
58
                          Why does the wind blow? Why does the sun shine?
Apr 25th 2016
59
                               It shouldn’t be hard to answer the question.
Apr 25th 2016
64
                                    Well, the sun shines because of the actual sun.
Apr 25th 2016
68
                                         That's what I thought.
Apr 25th 2016
75
What were the incentives?
Apr 25th 2016
22
      Byron having incentives on a tank year is the blackest shit ever.
Apr 25th 2016
23
           That's either bad agenting or his own desperation to coach in LA
Apr 25th 2016
24
                Fuck the lakers if they insisted? Why?
Apr 25th 2016
27
                     Blame black employees for accepting bad job terms.
Apr 25th 2016
31
                     Make myopic, contextually vapid statements implying racism
Apr 25th 2016
36
                     If the front office's strategy is to aim for a high lottery spot, yeah
Apr 25th 2016
45
                          Yeah, the tanking denial is so absurd
Apr 25th 2016
53
Byron Scott is a true Laker to the end of his tenure as coach..
Apr 25th 2016
15
You do realize it's better for them to decline his option now
Apr 25th 2016
28
Brett Brown's contract was extended.
Apr 25th 2016
32
      Interesting. Did the Lakers make that happen?
Apr 25th 2016
37
      No, they didn't. That's the point.
Apr 25th 2016
49
           The point is that the Lakers aren't running the 76ers front office?
Apr 25th 2016
54
                Well, Sauron actually runs all of these organizations.
Apr 25th 2016
56
                     LOL!
Apr 27th 2016
125
      So blame the Sixers for that. Don't blame LA for not following suit. nm
Apr 25th 2016
80
           Hello.
Apr 25th 2016
81
           Byron deserved a chance to coach.
Apr 25th 2016
82
                I get the pt about double standards. But that's the wrong paradigm.
Apr 25th 2016
89
thank you Mitch for waiting til Thibs was hired
Apr 25th 2016
40
The Lakers DID NOT go into this season *trying* to tank...in fact
Apr 25th 2016
43
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH @ PLAYOFFS
Apr 25th 2016
46
      Kareem Abdul-Jabbar expects Lakers to end playoff drought this season ht...
Apr 25th 2016
65
      BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAAHAHAHAHAH
Apr 25th 2016
67
      what position does kareem hold with the lakers?
Apr 25th 2016
69
      He also endorsed Hillary based on her "pragmatism".
Apr 25th 2016
78
           damn, really? that sucks.
Apr 25th 2016
94
      I can pull up some more links from a lot ppl saying LA would make
Apr 25th 2016
66
           for every one you got, there's probably 50 more that say they wouldn't
Apr 25th 2016
70
           Most people had them as a bottom 3 team in the West
Apr 25th 2016
99
                Pretty Much
Apr 25th 2016
101
It's happening AGAIN
Apr 25th 2016
76
What are the expectations for next season?
Apr 25th 2016
77
Ettore Messina is a perfect fit for the Lakers.
Apr 25th 2016
79
the expectation is don't suck more than this year.
Apr 25th 2016
83
Well Sedale Threatt said Western Conference Finals or bust
Apr 25th 2016
86
That’s based on the 3 year window for Jim + Jeanie’s definition
Apr 25th 2016
87
I mean, that's a weird question.
Apr 25th 2016
90
Yep. It could be veteran stars or another year w/youth
Apr 25th 2016
98
It's all about that pick. If we get 1 or 2, it's a great job.
Apr 25th 2016
102
Not based on any evidence but I think we hire...
Apr 25th 2016
88
I love it.
Apr 25th 2016
91
man he not gonna leave SAS for anything less than the head seat.
Apr 25th 2016
93
Can a dude dream? Sheeeeeeeeeeeittttttttttt (C) Clay Davis
Apr 25th 2016
96
      I mean why Luke over Messina?
Apr 25th 2016
100
           Because of his Laker history and ability to grow with the team
Apr 26th 2016
106
                I think Luke's GS experience is being downplayed too much.
Apr 26th 2016
108
                     Fair but the grey area to me is this:
Apr 26th 2016
113
                          That’s why I like your tandem idea better than just Luke
Apr 26th 2016
114
They just got permission to talk to Messina
Apr 25th 2016
95
      It's obviously not for an assistant job
Apr 25th 2016
97
      So Luke's hair is the most important qualification?
Apr 26th 2016
103
      so what's the word on this Euro dude?
Apr 27th 2016
120
did we identify the specific incentives for byron yet?
Apr 26th 2016
104
How many of the 100+ responses in here
Apr 26th 2016
105
Lol right, almost like we need two posts
Apr 26th 2016
107
      Yeah, but this goes for just about any post. It isn't unique to the Lake...
Apr 26th 2016
109
      No doubt about that
Apr 26th 2016
111
      Shrug, I stayed on topic.
Apr 26th 2016
110
           Your responses are fair imo bc you respond w sincerity
Apr 26th 2016
112
Oh so the SMARTER BUSS didn't fire Byron!?!?? (LAAAAINK)
Apr 27th 2016
115
Jeannie stay throwing Jim and Mitch under the bus
Apr 27th 2016
116
And what makes Jeanie the smarter one?
Apr 27th 2016
117
o so you hating on Jeanie now!?!?!
Apr 27th 2016
118
      Not at all. I asked you a question tho.
Apr 27th 2016
119
      Anything or nah?
Apr 27th 2016
135
      Still asking...
May 02nd 2016
183
           I'm asking too...Jeanie not an owner?
May 03rd 2016
187
                I asked first, plus you know this answer.
May 03rd 2016
191
Fun fact: Jeanie has no authority in personnel decisions
Apr 27th 2016
121
      she still part OWNER
Apr 27th 2016
122
      I mean he ghosted after I asked the simple question.
Apr 27th 2016
124
      So she not part owner?!?
Apr 27th 2016
128
           That's a pretty bold accusation.
Apr 27th 2016
129
           Is she, or is she not part owner?
Apr 27th 2016
130
                It's cute you think I'm gonna play this game.
Apr 27th 2016
131
                     Cool, so is she a part owner, or naw?
Apr 27th 2016
133
           she's in charge
Apr 27th 2016
132
                Actually Dr. Buss gave him that authority, not her
Apr 27th 2016
134
                     i could be wrong, but my understanding is she's the boss
Apr 27th 2016
136
                          You're right, of course. They just mad at O_E
Apr 27th 2016
137
He should have been given one more year
Apr 27th 2016
123
i'm torn
Apr 27th 2016
126
      No one would have mitigated...
Apr 27th 2016
127
I kind of want a retread
Apr 28th 2016
138
Luke Walton is official
Apr 29th 2016
139
A bit surprised, but happy.
Apr 29th 2016
140
*prays for Ettore to come along with him*
Apr 29th 2016
141
Yeah.
Apr 29th 2016
142
Ettore is waiting for the Raptors head coaching vacancy
Apr 29th 2016
144
yay.
Apr 29th 2016
143
Vaya con dios, Luke. Knew this was going to happen since Oct.l
Apr 29th 2016
145
Gentry might get fired next season if the Pels wet the bed
Apr 29th 2016
146
Fantastic. Now we need Jeanie to keep her boyfriend far away
Apr 29th 2016
147
It'll be interesting, at least.
Apr 30th 2016
148
hope they give him a 6-year contract like Stevens
Apr 30th 2016
158
If I knew they were gonna hire Walton, I'd rather have kept Byron
Apr 30th 2016
149
you clearly do not know a thing about Luke Walton
Apr 30th 2016
150
How long he's been an assistant coach? Two years?
Apr 30th 2016
151
      Perfect alias for your post. Have fun eating these words in a few years
Apr 30th 2016
153
      nepotism like a mf
Apr 30th 2016
155
      All true
Apr 30th 2016
157
           actually, it's not
May 03rd 2016

What an insightful and factually accurate critique!!
Apr 30th 2016
152
u really giving Walton credit?
Apr 30th 2016
154
      I'm unsurprised at how mad Lakers haters are 😘
Apr 30th 2016
160
           Cute emoji ..but the Lakers hired someone undeserving & underqualified
Apr 30th 2016
163
                Cool story! Just tell us all how you plan on backtracking.
Apr 30th 2016
165
                     I'm not a lakers fan, so I'm not mad.
Apr 30th 2016
166
                          Must be awfully hard work to stay so disingenuous
May 02nd 2016

Kerr learned from Lute Olsen (among others, but primarily)
Apr 30th 2016
171
not surprised about hiring Walton...
Apr 30th 2016

Every coach is a hell of a gamble

May 03rd 2016

If they get Paul George or Durant, it's second round, at least.

                I absolutely do.
May 03rd 2016
197
           LOL
May 03rd 2016
196
So Lakers hire Walton and THEN TRY to improve team?
May 05th 2016
198
Yup, we haven't pursued any FA's or trades the last 2 seasons
May 05th 2016
200
I don't think we even made calls.
May 05th 2016
202
Tell us more. This should be interesting.
May 05th 2016
201
they tried last offseason too. not sure what your point is
May 05th 2016
203
      Cool, so if they fail, they fire Walton next year, right?
May 05th 2016
204
What's everyone reading these days?
Nov 29th 2016
205
a book called "Black coach is forced to tank and play Kobe"
Nov 29th 2016
206
      You realize both things can be correct, right?
Nov 29th 2016
207
      There's only one "thing" that needs to be true (and it is, clearly)
Nov 29th 2016
208
           Byron was unfairly scapegoated. But Luke is better for this team.
Nov 29th 2016
212
                LMAO. The former is a fact. The latter is a silly opinion.
Nov 29th 2016
213
                     Saying Byron wld be doing a better job than Luke is rn is an opinion too...
Nov 29th 2016
220
                     Byron been to the NBA Finals, bro. With ONE all-star.
Nov 29th 2016
222
                          He went to the Finals when the average age of this team was 6

                                    Tell us more about why you can't make strong basketball
Nov 29th 2016
236
                                         Lulz. You gave Byron ZERO credit for getting to the NBA Finals.
Nov 29th 2016
242
                                              False, Trash. But go on and cook with that false narrative
Nov 29th 2016
243
                                                   Ahh so who's name-calling and not talking basketball now?
Nov 29th 2016
247
                                                        But you gave Carlisle no credit for a RING with (an ancient) Kidd..hmmm....
Nov 29th 2016
251
                                                        Lol! Who talking about Carlisle? Idiot.
Nov 29th 2016

Nov 30th 2016
293
                     No, you're just wrong and mad as fuck.
Nov 29th 2016
226
                     Nah, we said that when Luke was hired and it's proving correct
Nov 29th 2016
228
                          Meds
Nov 29th 2016
231
                               don't do that man...keep this shit to basketball, at least
Nov 29th 2016
233
                               True.
Nov 29th 2016
234
                               To be fair he's just being himself.
Nov 29th 2016
238
                                    Oh, I have no problem with Luke Walton.
Nov 29th 2016
241
                                         So many gross over simplifications.
Nov 29th 2016
250
                               Tell us more about what a piece of shit you are
Nov 29th 2016
235
                                    Nah, real spit, I don't think message boards are good for you
Nov 29th 2016
240
                                         Look who's talking, Trash.
Nov 29th 2016
245
      Know what else isn't debatable?
Nov 29th 2016
209
      Uh. Steph, Klay and Draymond "liked" Mark Jackson more than Steve Kerr.
Nov 29th 2016
210
           Yes they did.
Nov 29th 2016
211
           No, they didn't.
Nov 29th 2016
214
           RE: Yes they did.
Nov 29th 2016
215
                Right, because they are now in actual, adult, professional shape.
Nov 29th 2016
219
                     They can't get in shape in other ways?
Nov 29th 2016
221
                          LMAO! What?
Nov 29th 2016
223
                               lol @ fat asses
Nov 29th 2016
224
                               You mean like you did after Lebron stole your soul?
Nov 29th 2016
229
                               Again, being disingenuous.
Nov 30th 2016
266
           they are also playing a lot better under walton
Nov 29th 2016
216
                No shit. They aren't tanking and giving Kobe a farewell.
Nov 29th 2016
218
                     LMAO, 15 fucking years ago in an anemic East. Bye felicia.
Nov 29th 2016
225
                          Bwahahahahaha. That's the last decent team he was able to coach, idiot.
Nov 29th 2016
230
                               Give a man the best team in a weak conference
Nov 29th 2016
237
                                    LMAO. So Scott gets *no* credit for that? Bwhahahahhaha
Nov 29th 2016
239
                                         I said neither, Trash. But again... this is your way.
Nov 29th 2016
244
                                              Damn, I sank your sad, mad battleship. Take that 'L'
Nov 29th 2016
248
                                                   No, Trash, I'm not.
Nov 29th 2016
254
                                                        Hope you get help. Your post below was pretty weird.
Nov 30th 2016
271
                                                             Your interpretation was weird, not my post.
Nov 30th 2016
275
                                                                  I wish you wellness and happiness.
Nov 30th 2016
279
                                                                       I genuinely wish you the worst
Nov 30th 2016
290
      pretty good
Nov 29th 2016
217
Thank god the Lakers got rid of Byron for an actually great coach
Nov 29th 2016
246
So it was Byron's fault they were advised to tank? Interesting.
Nov 29th 2016
249
Yes. Horrible coach
Nov 29th 2016
261
I remember when DLo was benched but said he didn't know why...
Nov 29th 2016
253
      D-Lo also improved mightily be season's end.
Nov 29th 2016
255
           Oh, here comes the race-baiting. Says a lot about you.
Nov 29th 2016
257
           Lol, the answer is pretty obvious
Nov 29th 2016
264
           It's derailing thread after thread. It's a shame.
Nov 29th 2016
265
                Nah, your double standards are derailing everything
Nov 30th 2016
268
                     No, you being a piece of shit AgendaBot is.
Nov 30th 2016
269
                          You want me to off myself? No, thank you. Weirdo.
Nov 30th 2016
270
                               More lies. Not at all what I said, Trash.
Nov 30th 2016
274
                                    "Take care of the problem.....you're the problem." Hmmm
Nov 30th 2016
277
                                         All jokes aside, you might want to get some help, man.
Nov 30th 2016
282
                                              Oh, I've been threatened by nerds on OKP several times, bro.
Nov 30th 2016
284
                                                   I definitely know what humor is, and what I hear from you is not humor.
Nov 30th 2016
289
           LOL. Sam Mitchell and Byron Scott are two different black men.
Nov 30th 2016
267
                Your groundless race-baiting is despicable. nm
Nov 30th 2016
276
                     Post 286. Your double standards just got exposed, Sally
Nov 30th 2016
287
                          That's not true. And it's not funny.
Nov 30th 2016
291
           Actually... YES and YES .
Nov 29th 2016
258
*ahem*... post #266
Nov 30th 2016
280
Yes. IMO assessing ANYONE's firing involves assessing their replacement
Nov 30th 2016
283
      Byron was in the NBA Finals last time he was given a decent team
Nov 30th 2016
286
           You keep saying that, forgetting he coached the Hornets.
Nov 30th 2016
288
                Bwahaha. That makes my argument stronger, idiot
Dec 01st 2016
294
                     It really doesn't. But that's ok. Luke is better for this team. Cry.
Dec 01st 2016
296
What I find curious...
Dec 01st 2016
295
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
Dec 01st 2016
297
reply 266 shuts down this entire thread...
