I won't apologize for what others have said, but I will say how nice it is to see an optimistic, praising tone coming out of a our head coach. Byron deserves the harsh critique, both for his style and impact; if it had worked for him at all, there's would be no complaint. |

It never gets old, we had to suffer through his incompetency for 2 entire seasons. I will complain as much as I want because he just might be the worst coach in sports history. But without him we probably wouldn't have D-Lo and we would of lost this seasons pick for sure so I guess it wasn't all bad |

| I'm glad the kids finally got some acknowledgment. There's a long way to go, but I think this is a good start. |

| Surprised Luke mentioned the post, but he's right. He might be the best post player on the team. |

Luke was probably the only person in the country who watched the Lakers on League Pass this season.

I wonder if Luke folded his arms after talking with Mike and asked him "are you finished or are you done?" |
he definitely put some respeck on all tree of the young core names |

He sure gave his best alright....
Running the team into the ground with mind boggling rotations and constant sprint practices, while constantly benching and limiting minutes to our best players takes real effort. Good job Byron!

We have every right to bash Byron as much as we want to. We had to put up with the torture of watching him coach our favorite team for two seasons. We had to suffer through a year where he refused to develop our young talent and wasted an entire season. We had to suffer through his mind boggling stupid rotations. Watch his crappy offense. He was awful. Nothing short of it and he deserves all the bashing he gets.

For some reason I'm reminded of a Threes Company episode where Jack, Janet and Chrissy has to clear out the weeds in the Mr Roper's backyard. The grass and weeds were so high, Jack said.. "There are still pockets of Japanese in these bushes who don't know the war is over." I picture Byron in his Foxhole when there is no war. |

I hope Luke is in every Free agency meeting because he'll be the one telling the players how he plans on using them

Kerr was asked if the coaching staff talks about Steph's status. "We mostly talk about the Lakers, actually."
Kerr: "How Luke wants to use Clarkson and Randle and what offense he's going to run. We're really trying to help him out." |

Is he being sarcastic? Can't tell.
Pretty cool if he's actually helping Luke (and the Lakers). |
