THIS
I've been saying 'Scott to replace Phil' for like 3 years now, and people always respond that he's not that good and Kidd/Paul were the only reasons he even looks decent as a coach. I don't buy it.
I buy it. Kidd even made Lawrence Frank look like a competent coach.

OMG Jeff Bower is taking over the coaching and Tim Floyd (possibly) will be his assistant. +%**

 

[mjdalegend]

There're other coaches that deserves to be fired than him.

I'll glady have Bryon Scott than Don Nelson on the Warriors.

 

[wttm]

the Posey signing was overrated IMO.
should've threw the money at Pargo instead. Pargo on the other hand was overlooked for his contribution to their success 2 years ago. he was the only guycreating and making shots coming off the bench to give them energy.

No doubt Nelson needs to be fired. Doubt it happens tho

If anything I hope that the Warriors are so dysfunctional and terrible that it forces him to quit. (not that he has already quit on the team).

 

[brian cushing]

Yeahhhh Floyd haha. Now you don't have to break up fights at Morongo.

 

[grittyman20]

It's not his fault his team has no talent.

 

[lazyj10]

Still, how he was fired ahead of Nellie is a travesty.

 

[JD617]

The only thing I'm surprised about is that it didn't happen sooner.

Straight up.

Peja is buns now. Posey is overpaid. David West just bothers me for some reason.

 

[burns1923]

I was just thinking last night whether or not his recent Laker comments would come back to get him.

Surely this firing was more about the team. But still, what if those comments DID play a part?

"Byron, we're letting you go."

"Wow. Are you serious? I mean... I don't know what to say."

*silence*

"Was it the Laker comments?"

"Well, let's just say... ok ... ... Yes, yes it was."

*Byron calls Mitch on way out of office*

"It's Byron. I'll be there tonight. Set the plan in motion. Make up a position for me - special assistant for player video game management,something. I'm coming home!"

 

[eneyekayee]

Replacing Byron Scott with the GM and Tim Floyd?

My guy CP3 is gonna have a mid life crisis @ the age of 24. SMH

No, this just ensures Jeff Bower ultimate dismissal.

Management needs to surround Chris Paul with more actual talent.

That'd be a pretty slick plan.
Coach-in-waiting?

 

[gaseousfashion]

I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

 

[mjd77]

With current ownership, the New Orleans franchise will never win a thing.

 

[duke4005]

Uhm, Avery Johnson? He is from there, taskmaster to get these guys in-line, and a point guard to mentor CP3.

 

[h3at23]

Whaat was the Laker comment?
