Another longterm signing...
I know. But it is only 1 extra year (3) not 2 that I really wanted!! I can't believe Scott wouldn't have settled for 2 if we stayed firm. But if we really want someone else in 2 years we just pay Scott the 4M for the 3rd year and let him go.
You know, I don't know much of Bryon Scott's coaching philosophy to be honest. I know he orchestrated the Nets to back to back Finals appearances in 2002 and 2003 and in 2008 had an extremely good New Orleans Hornets team with Chris Paul. If anything, I can assume he's point guard friendly and that'll be good for Jeremy Lin.
I will say this, Scott is LA friendly. He won't get the heat that Mike Brown or Mike D'Antoni got, regardless of how the team does. That's good for the team since there will be less drama on that front.
One thing I do hope is that he brings Dave Miller on as an assistant coach. He was an assistant coach with him in New Orleans and after that was a radio analyst for AM 710 out in Los Angeles for the Lakers and now is a TWC Lakers analyst. He's a defensive minded coach and I'd love to have him on the team.

He obviously wanted the chance to coach the team (and perhaps "legitimately prove" himself) if it potentially landed a superstar (or two) like LeBron or Durant in 2016... _________________ In Rob I trust.

I want Cooper!!
And they better keep Madsen!!!
Coop is recovering from cancer.
I think the 3 guaranteed years is fair for Byron. Not much anyone can do with our current roster and anything less than 3 years is too short for a head coach.
Good luck Byron!
Learned and patented my jumper solely on this cat. Was my favorite SG of all time until this brash 17yr old kid from Philly garnered that respect. Took me a while tho I used hate on Kobe as a show off in his rookie year (not vlf level vicious hate but just didn't like his too flashy).
I agree with the other poster that he has much longer leash with la fans and media b/c he's native and a laker legend. I approve the signing. _________________ Alltime lineup: Magic | Kobe | MJ | Hakeem | KAJ
