Ok? I'm just saying why I'm disappointed, personally. Not what I expected them to do.

"Well, sure, they signed Boozer, but whoever they hire should give Randle playing time behi... BAH GAWD THAT'S BSCOTT'S MUSIC!"
No. We have a fantasy thread, a Lakers thread, and an NBA thread. That's plenty to make a league off of.
Was honored, even. Not loyal to either side, despite my sn.Ska, he just called you a Jedi and you didn't even get insulted.
I've said it for years, I am 100% down with the Sith.
The Jedi and all their sensitive feelings & ****. Peace and tranquility and love, yeah, and you let the "chosen one" go and slaughter all your kids, rule the galaxy for 2 decades, all because it's "not in your nature" to kill someone for no reason. Yeah, how'd that work out for ya Mace, or Ben?
Next time you have a powerful Force user burnt to a crisp, with one arm, and one leg, you stick your ******* lightsaber in his back. Cuz when you don't, you end up in planet full of sand, all by yourself, while that dude runs **** and kills billions.
Stupid *** Jedi. Get some balls.
Haha y'all acting like the coach was going to help.
We could have Jesus coaching, and most likely still miss the playoffs.
This season will mostly be an excuse for pro-tankers to argue with pro-winning fans....
No more no less, a game within a game...
But as always i'll try to enjoy the defective product we have on the floor...
I'm trying to be in this fantasy league comin up boys. What I gotta do?
Y'all really think we are THAT bad? With ***** *** popovich we wouldn't even make the playoffs ? With Phil Jackson we wouldn't even make the playoffs? y'all Trippin we gon be fun to watch, watch
The problem is I'm not sure he can even do a good job developing the young guys. He seemed OK with the young guys in Cleveland, to an extent (even though they were ultimately terrible). But what worries me is his stubbornness and inability to switch up his game plan - I'm not sure that's a good mix when you have a veteran, "proven" PF ahead of Randle and a team that's still trying to be competitive.Yea seeing as most got what they wanted pro tanking wise we can at least give Byron a shot. No need to berate dude first chance you get. Might be able to develop done young guys cuz he damn sure ain't winning
LinkSCOTT’S REPORTED RETURNS TO L.A. BRINGS SKETCHY DEFENSIVE HISTORY
Only 86 days after Mike D’Antoni resigned as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, the team has a replacement. As first reported by ESPN’s Chris Broussard, the Lakers are in negotiations with Byron Scott, who won three championships with them as a player.
As a coach, Scott has been to The Finals twice. But in 11 full seasons with the New Jersey Nets, New Orleans Hornets and Cleveland Cavaliers, he’s had a winning record only four times. And his years in Cleveland gave him a distinction that no coach would want to have.
The Cavs ranked in the bottom five in defensive efficiency (points allowed per 100 possessions) in each of Scott’s three seasons. That’s not just bad. It’s unprecedented.
Before Scott, the last coach to lead his team to the bottom five in defensive efficiency in three straight seasons was Mike Dunleavy, who did it with Milwaukee from 1993-94 to 1995-96, a streak that started when the league had only 27 teams. So Scott is the only coach to do it in a 30-team league.
Note: Before Scott’s Cavs, the last team to rank in the bottom five at least three straight seasons was the Warriors, who did it four seasons in a row, from 2008-09 to 2011-12. But three difference coaches — Don Nelson, Keith Smart and Mark Jackson — were responsible for that run.
You could look at those Cleveland rosters (2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13) and note their youth and lack of talent. Indeed, Scott didn’t have much to work with. But bottom five for three straight years speaks for itself. Scott had a No. 1 defense in New Jersey and top 10 defenses twice with the Hornets, but he wasn’t able to coach the young Cavs up. Under Mike Brown last season, Cleveland jumped from 27th to 17th in defensive efficiency.
The Lakers went in the opposite direction, dropping from 19th to 28th in D’Antoni’s only full season in L.A. With no real center and guys like Nick Young and Jodie Meeks playing big chunks of minutes on the perimeter, that’s what you’re going to get.
But the personnel won’t be any better this season. They’ve added noted defensive liabilities Jeremy Lin and Carlos Boozer to their rotation along with rookie Julius Randle and 36-year-old Kobe Bryant, who is coming off of two leg injuries and who played some pretty terrible weak-side defense the last time he was healthy.
Bad defensive personnel and a coach with a bad defensive history. For the second straight season, opposing offenses are going to love facing the Lakers.
Lakers officially re-sign Xavier Henry.
I really need the season to start....
Planning to cop any jerseys from this current roster to your collection this year..?
HELL NO! LOL
Unless somebody has a crazy year and I know they will stay for a while. Randle is the only one I might consider...
