What did the two winners get last season?
you can give some of your blu rays, 6 months of mountain dew, or your bbq grill
I don't know what this means, decade for what?
Franc,
I don't have a BBQ grill, and no blu rays to give away, sorry.

Whatever happened with Kane?? Haven't heard too much about him as of late

He got off to a slow start in the Summer League but got better every game. Showed he was a great prospect and is supposedly gaining a lot of interest throughout the league if the Lakers don't sign him.
The problem is he's a Point guard and with Nash. Lin and Clarkson on the roster.... he doesn't have a good shot to make the team. Liked him too.
Hopefully the Lakers still sign him though.... his numbers weren't other-wordly in the summer league but he had nice all around numbers(points, rebounds, assists, steals, good FG%,)

We might as well sign him. We all know Nash is gonna play like 2.36 games this season
That's an open PG spot. Send him to the DL

I didn't think Kane was very good in SL.
Not to mention this roster has enough point guards as is.

Pestimestically, I could say the team is smaller with the losses of Pau and Kaman up front 
lol), eight players are returning from last season's team and Kobe is probably worse on defense than Meeks on a night to night basis.

No way we can be that bad this year , right.............right ?[/quote]I'm worried, for real.
Saw on some other Lakers site (can't remember which) that Byron had said something like the team "better be ready to play defense", and I was like "Says who? You? You were like almost dead last, bruh."
But, I mean, we'll see. That Finals Nets team wasn't terrible on defense. Same w/ his Hornets squad: not terrible on defense (they had David West, no?)
Maybe that's what he meant when he said the team better be ready defensively: "Better be ready, because defensively, we will not be terrible. We will be unterrible."
Like I said, just have to see for ourselves. My 2 worries w/ him are defensively, and being a player's coach, and if that says Swaggy at the 3, that's what I mean. I couldn't see Pop or Phil or Auerbach being like "Yeah, trying Swaggy at the 3."
But... just because he uses a player's pop name doesn't mean he doesn't mean Xs & Os, and doesn't mean he can't implement them.
We'll see.
I'm giving you a fair shake, #4. We'll see...

Byron Scott's Cavs finished in the bottom five defensively three years in a row. That hasn't been done in the 30 team era.
There's a few caveats to the dubious feat, but still.

Seems like opinions on scott vary depending on if you focus on the nets/Hornets years versus the Cleveland years. Kyrie Irving in his rookie year was dead last in defense by the way and hasn't gotten much better.

Scott's tentures all tend to end the same; He starts out relatively well (besides the Cavs job), burns out his players with his outdated old school approach(es), they tune out and he gets fired.
