There's a price to be paid when you trade in wifey number one for a newer, younger, model. Byron's hypocrisy, regarding taking responsibility, continues to be hilarious. Let's see if Magic, AC or Worthy come to his defense this time?

Good luck with that one, bud.

I'd be shocked if he ever got a head coaching gig in the league for the rest of his life.

He dug his own grave. The most he gets is a college coaching gig, but you can't exactly tank in college.

I wouldn't say Byron Scott deserves this, but let's just say I'm not sympathetic to his situation either.

Damn poor Byron. How is he supposed to survive on 300k a year?
He's going to have to minimize his boat trips and maybe even reduce the time of his Mr. Belvedere to a summers only.

That is manning up gone waaay too far peoplesss.

Yeah, but the last two years were not guaranteed so they don't have to pay him no more. So thank the FO for putting those performance clauses in his contract.

Byron is not an extremely bright person, the writing is on the wall, it was Kobe's last year, that team wasn't going anywhere, if anything u should embrace the youth movement. But no, mr. Scott still think by playing Lou William over DLO and humiliating the rookie would benefit this franchise. He definitely dugged his own grave

All he has to do is re-file in court and the judge will amend his payments based on his current situation. BS is just looking for sympathy and publicity. End of story.

Oh. What's the point of them if they aren't guaranteed, from Byron's perspective?

I don't understand why he's unemployed. He just proved himself to be the best damn tank commander on the planet!

You apparently forgot that the Kings exist... There's always a chance with them.

Time to move on. He's not the coach anymore. Byron is apart of the Lakers family.

I can't be bothered with your concepts of "maturity" and "taking the high road". After the last two years I'm taking as much pleasure in Byron's misfortunes as his ex wife.

Exactly right.

I don't wish bad at all, I'm just glad he's no longer our coach.

Regardless of if you guys like him or not, he has had some extremely bad luck in regards to the timing of his coaching tenures, remember he signed to coach the Cavs - right before Lebron left for the Heat and when he signed with the Lakers he had no way of knowing that Nash and Kobe would be practically useless...

Um, the story is based on court documents he filed, not on an interview
