Lakers: B. Skizzle Looking To Add "The Glove" As Assitant Coach For Defensive Purposes

[Koolaid_Man]

Let's welcome Gary Payton *aka* G. Pizzle to B. Skizzle's coaching staff...would be a tremendous pick-up if it goes down. I co-sign this..Payton is raw and will get up in them nikkas asses...

Now comes the rumor that Payton could join the team as an assistant. It would be a solid move because experience is the one-thing the 11-time All-Star lacks. Therefore, Scott can tutor him and, after two mediocre seasons, he can be shown the door, making way for Payton to take over with a fresh start and some tutelage from one of the most experienced coaches in basketball.


If the opposite happens, and Scott somehow turns the Lakers into le contenders, then its a win-win. The Lakers turned their franchise around and still have a talented, big-name assistant on their coaching staff, while Payton still gets the experience he needs. Really, the only one that can lose here is Scott

excited about Gary Payton in 2014

[spurraider21]

a starting backcourt of Payton and Scott would probably be more effective than Lin and Kobe, tbh

why haven't they considered hiring Karl Malone & Shaq back as their bigman coaches? just so their 04' big four would be reunited.

Is Kirby going to run him off again like he did in 2004?

they're boys man...but I can't lie during that Pistons finals series Kobe did go to Phil and ask him to let him guard Payton's man because according to Phil Kobe said: "I think he's scared."

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Almost every article I've read about the Lakers this off season reads like something from The Onion.
