Byron, you are the tanking GOAT. Between what you did here in LA and Cleveland - along with being the all time worst coach in terms of winning percentage with a coach that's been in the league over 1000 games... You are a real man of genius, and today I salute you.
It's been a pleasure. I'm sure you'll get a job, around the same time Sam Hinke finds a new team to GM. _________________ How can I get a copy of a Laker game played on Sunday, March 11, 2001 Sonics/Lakers? If you know PM me please

Byron was trying to win every game this year, he was just really bad at it. Thats what makes it sadder; In his mind, he was making the moves to maximize our chance at winning and we still had the worst year in franchise history.
He was well compensated, and so were we. _________________ A banana is killed every time a terrible thread or post is made. Save the bananas. Stop creating terrible posts!

I think he might be leaving his tank prime though. He used to score #1s. Now he's only getting #2s. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

Thank you Byron. We suffered as fans. DLO's play and image suffered. He was 9th out of 9th in rookie of the year voting. Randle was clearly shook up from his time on the bench. With 17 wins, you managed to turn us into the laughing stock of the league. But through your ineptitude as a coach, we secured the #2 overall pick. So thank you. And tell your significant other that we all agree, that was a AT $&">D AT $& move!
Byron's you're simply the best, at sucking: _________________ How can I get a copy of a Laker game played on Sunday, March 11, 2001 Sonics/Lakers? If you know PM me please

Byron is probably pissed that he paved the way to a winning team while paying the price in the end while having Luke Walton enjoy the fruits of his hard work.
Byron needs some accolades. Playing Huertas at the times he did? He was being a good foot soldier. I'll always respect Scott. I think Luke is the right choice, but we will be grateful to Byron come future years when he put us in position to recoup what we lost with Dwight Howard, Chris Paul (for 'basketball reasons') and Pau.
It takes no special skill to do what Byron did. Hell, I can do it for a quarter of the price, and I won't be a d^*% about it either. _________________ My Dream Starting 5 next Season
