after last night's loss to OKC, here's what Kobe had to say

damn. that's just sad. :grin:

 

After watching last night's game, anyone who thinks the Lakers are tanking to the same extent as the Sixers is completely clueless. This pathetic bunch of misfits is 5-24 and you wonder how they've won 5 games.

The Sixers are 1-30 on their way to making history! They are a disgrace to basketball. Nuff said.

I'm glad Kobe is going out on top.

 

Isn't that the same thing?

 

well Kobe need to keep jacking up bricks or else the Lakers will lose their draft pick this year.

 

Kobe is surprisingly playing well. So if you want them to lose their draft pick, might want to cheer for something else.

[LOL] Lakers 'torn' on whether to bring back Byron Scott

Will this also be Coach Byron Scott's final season with the Lakers?

The franchise seems torn on whether he'll return for the third and last guaranteed year on his contract.

He is expected to coach the rest of this season, and some within the organization wonder what Scott might do with a better roster. The one he has now has produced an 11-44 record, second-worst in the NBA.

Others, however, wonder about the effectiveness of the tough love he administers to the team's many young players.

Something in Scott's favor: more talent could arrive by late June. The Lakers have a better-than-expected chance of retaining their top-three protected draft pick and will then have about $55 million to spend on free agents.

Something not in Scott's favor: the Lakers have shown little hesitation in parting with coaches before their contracts expire. Mike Brown was fired with almost three years left on his contract and Mike D'Antoni was handed more than half of the $4 million he was owed after resigning in 2014.

Scott is in the second season of a four-year, $17-million contract.​

 

^ lulz Lakers lulz

I'm torn as well. Can't decide whether I want to go on a vacation or light myself on fire.

 

It really depends the offseason free agency or who they draft this year and how the kid will pan out.
Byron Scott has been doing well the past and present season...

Spoiler

as a tank general. They may bring him back if they need to continue the tank...

 

Not really that interesting

but what happens post Kobe era

 

If I'm the NBA I make sure they get Ben Simmons.

 

He's easily the worst coach I have ever seen. He's damaging those youngsters in the process. There is obviously no chance he'll be back.
