It the end of the road for Byron Scott since the LA Lakers Fired Coach Byron Scott For Terrible Season only winning 38 games for the 2015/2016 season!!!
Get more details on Byron Scott and why the LA Lakers said thank you for your time but get out of here…
Byron Scott will not be back to coach the Lakers and even worse, he is going down in Lakers history as the worst coach in the franchise’s 68-year history.
Wow, that sucks.
Despite it being Kobe Bryant’s last year in the NBA, Byron Scott was thanked for his “hard work, dedication and loyalty,” but the team decided it was “in the best interest of the organization to make a change at this time,” according to a brief statement from Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak released by the team about 9:15 p.m. Sunday.
Who will replace Scott?
CelebNSports247.com has learned that there are two potential coaching candidates were hired in the last week: Tom Thibodeau by the Minnesota Timberwolves and Scott Brooks by the Washington Wizards.
The Lakers are expected to compile a long list of possible replacements, including former NBA coaches, current pro assistants and perhaps some college coaches. An intriguing candidate would be Golden State assistant coach Luke Walton. The former Lakers forward coached the Warriors to a 39-4 record earlier this season while head coach Steve Kerr recovered from back surgery. – SportingNews
