Yeah, I do.You really want to defend Byron Scott of all people?
He was bought in to watch over the Kobe Farewell/tank seasons. Soon as Kobe was gone, Luke Walton was hired, then they started spending in FA, and they were gonna be Baby Golden State. I don't forget shyt like that.
For one we dont even know what bron jr. is going to be and I dont think comic sans Gilbert would be interested in that.

But you DO forget Byron Scott not even telling guys why they were getting benched?
Byron Scott says he hasn’t talked to D’Angelo Russell or Julius Randle about demotionsHe wasn't even on speaking terms with management or the owners before he got fired. And then when Mitch canned him, he went on TV saying "If I knew I was on the hot seat - I would've played Lou and Bass more" not even understanding how he was playing himself on live TV. Scott was a clown going all the way back to New Orleans with his #manup bullshyt
some of these dudes really don't need the revisionist history
pour one out for Silas. shyt, remember how Gentry was getting done dirty in Phoenix and NOLA before he got an actual team. Scott was terrible in LA and he didn't even try and hide it
NO told Monty Williams his job was safe if they made the playoffs, they did and he was still fired.But you DO forget Byron Scott not even telling guys why they were getting benched?

Reporter: What do you think needs to be done to get more out of the offense Byron?
Byron: We just need to man up. Simple as that. Kobe is a man. The young fellas need to be men too.
Reporter: You guys are currently one of the worst defenses in the league. How do you guys get better moving forward?
Byron: We just got to be men. Period. The young boys don't get it yet and they dont understand how to play like men. You see Kobe? He knows how to play like man. MWP? Lou? Bass? They're vets, they know how to be men out there. But the young boys are just that - boys. When they man up we'll play better defense
Like...I get it. There's a disproportionately low amount of black coaches in pro sports/NCAA, so naturally it sucks to see one of the few lose their spot, but everybody ain't a victim. There are some who genuinely did get hoed (See Monty Williams; Lionel Holllins & Fiz in Memphis), but some of them were just trash and deserved to be fired.

Lebron James was the nba’s last player-coach

This total waste of Cavs’s resources and useless multi-million dollar contract brought to you by LeGM
Whether he shook Cac Gilbert’s hand or not. This was inevitable. Gilbert and James co-existed so that James could cement his legacy by being the “one” who ended Cleveland’s championship drought and Gilbert got to go along for the ride and have the team he owned have that glory. And he wasn’t paying Lebron an “insane amount” of money. Lebron was smart enough to forgoe financial legitimacy for TRUE control (sign one year deals and in turn keep your leverage) he also got his friends and people close to him opportunities they might not have gotten otherwise. JR got paid. Thompson got paid. Lue got promoted (fukk Blatt).
Lebron played that situation smarter than ANY other Professional ball player in recent history (this is fact) Lue wasn’t given a “fair” shot but the NBA isn’t about establishing “fair” circumstances. You take what you can WHEN you can. Lue now has a championship pedigree and 4 finals appearances to his resume as head coach. He’ll get another chance with another team eventually.

If Mike Brown leaves the Warriors that's a great landing spot for Lue.
