"In an interview with the Los Angeles Daily News, Byron Scott claims that he was taken aback and “thrown for a loop” by Los Angeles’ decision to decline to pick up the option on the third year of his four-year deal, keeping in mind a conversation he had with Laker brass back in 2014 about seeing out at the very least a three-year plan:
“If I knew this was coming, I would have played Lou [Williams], Brandon [Bass] and guys like that a whole lot more,” Scott said, referring to his veterans in an interview with this newspaper. “They gave me the best chance to win.”

“I wasn’t going to sell myself; that’s just not me. But I did bring up the fact that I thought I had at least another year with our discussions that this would be hard the first two or three years,” Scott said. “They asked if I was all right with it and I said, ‘Yeah I am. But are you guys?’ The answer back to me was, ‘Yeah, because we knew this would be tough and it would take a while.’”
Byron should have known he signed a deal with the devil. Now his coaching career is ruined and no teams would want him, what a terrible stigma.
Guess that's what happens when you sign with the Lakers:
1. they turn on the coach
2. they give their star 1 year fora farewell tour before kicking his ass out the door
3. tried trading Pau Gasol not once or twice, but 3 times
