He'll coach the lakers by 2015
You think Brian Shaw would take the Cavs Job?

What plan is that?
why would SVG coach there? And how is this a decent job for anyone other then getting a paycheck
That roster is not that bad, especially when Varejao was healthy. Scott killed those players in practice and training camp like Scott Skiles used too, and he never preached defense his entire time there. If anything, Byron probably contributed to the insane amount of injuries they had this season. They just got tired of him and gave up.
Any link to the claims you are making?
i know Blazer fans were giving him a hard time them last few years before he got canned
didnt the team give up on him at one point??
Fans gotta blame someone , usually the coach. However, I believe if Nate was their coach this year they would have been the 8th seed

I ain't saying this team was a title contender or anything, but they looked good after the all-star break and just gave the fukk up outta nowhere. Scott is a horribly overrated coach
it is what it is. Anyway...Jason Lloyd: Byron Scott
Asked directly last week if he has received any indication he could be fired at the end of the season, Scott said, “No.” But as these crushing losses have mounted, players are privately questioning Scott’s guidance. To characterize the Cavs’ locker room as divided or turning on their coach would be inaccurate and melodramatic, but the whispers are growing louder. “We’re exhausted,” said one player, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the topic. “It goes back to training camp. He killed us in camp. We don’t have any legs left. “Our shootarounds are an hour and 45 minutes. They’re not physically demanding, but we’re still on our feet all that time. We had a two-hour and 15-minute practice the other day and an hour and a half of that was a hard scrimmage. At this point in the season, that’s crazy.” Teams hold shootarounds the morning of games. They are intended to serve as a walk-through or strategy session and are typically scheduled to last an hour.
Without knowing players have started complaining, Scott defended his practice habits prior to Friday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. In an anonymous poll of NBA players last April, Scott finished third among coaches players would least like to play for, ranking behind Stan Van Gundy and Scott Skiles. Van Gundy was fired at the end of last season after the Orlando Magic imploded around Dwight Howard and Skiles resigned from the Milwaukee Bucks earlier this season. Cavs training camps, termed “Camp Scott,” are considered among the most grueling camps in the league. “We’ve had so many injuries that I’ve had to tone down [practices],” Scott said Friday. “But I’m not going to scale back what I do practice-wise because I really do believe it prepares guys to play in this league and play on a consistent basis.” Yet even the player who defended Scott’s practice habits agreed he has questioned the coach’s in-game strategies, including his refusal at various points to use timeouts.
