And what does the head coach do if the assistants strategize and evaluate? Play golf, I suppose. _________________ LeBron, AD, & _________. Stay tuned.

Hopefully the Lakers will have the same sense the Warriors had with Mark Jackson. We'll definitely see improvement, on a smaller scale of course. _________________ Smrek 2, Nevitt 1, Barkley 0

It doesn't make sense to talk to DLO now about starting after the all star game. Something could change (maybe we get Westbrook?) so you don't want to commit now. Talk to him about starting when you are ready to start him. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

"Is not old enough to ask what he thinks"? The kids in the freakin NBA,
a decent coach needs to talk to his players...
This is another power play by BS, can't wait til he's gone and if the FO
really thought about it, the time is now not at seasons end. It's time to build some cohesiveness with the youngsters. _________________ Lakers need to build a freaking team !

So like 30 seconds before tipoff? I mean DLO could be kidnapped in the hallway before tipoff too. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

Do you imagine a teacher who is not discussing a professional career with a pupil? Scott is supposed to develop our young talent, not? How is it possible without communicating?
A smart and thinking player sure must also think about the game from a coach perspective. _________________ .

So the great coaches like Popovich, Phil Jax, even the newer guys like Kerr don't talk with their players about their roles?

For the record, Brett Brown is apparently really involved with your boy Okafor about his role on the team. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

Agreed coach no need to discuss with every player, especially to a rookie. By the way, it seems Scott's style to let player work through difficulties by themselves, sometimes work through the problem created by Scott himself.

What are you agreeing with? Scott's ridiculous notion that he doesn't have to discuss roles with a player that the Lakers are basing their rebuild on?
He's just a poor communicator. He was treated poorly as a rookie when he joined the Showtime crew. Somehow he feels that DLO is being coddled unlike he was with Cooper, KAJ, Worthy, etc.
Newsflash to BScott. It's 2016. Yeah it sucked what they did to you but you don't have to make the kid's life difficult just for the sake of it. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

Yeah, that is exactly what I was saying. <eyeroll>
Too many people just react without reading what was said. Should Byron ask DLO his opinion of what the Lakers should do? I don't think that 50 NBA games gives him the insight to respond. Should Byron discuss that with Kobe? Of course. Do any of you seriously think that Phil asked Bynum his opinion of what the Lakers should do when he was a rookie? Give a guy a chance to have some experience in the league before expecting him to understand what is going on. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

It is something that should have been communicated to the players. If they are so inexperienced that you won't discuss strategy with them, why would you expect them to be experienced enough to know their weaknesses? _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

You don't ask young players what you should do as a coach but you have to explain to them what they need to do to be successful. Also, being clear and precise about what their role on the team is, is extremely important. Scott has openly said he doesn't do that. He will tell Russell to not take over a game and be more aggressive within days of each other.
