    Scott gets 4 years, $17M from Lakers
    The Los Angeles Lakers have agreed to terms on a four-year, $17 million contract with Byron Scott to be their next head coach, sources told ESPN.

    The Lakers hold a team option on the final year of the deal.

    Scott has been the front-runner for the job throughout most of the nearly three-month coaching search, which began when Mike D'Antoni resigned on April 30. His status as a three-time champion with the team during the Showtime era, his close relationship with Kobe Bryant and his familiarity with the current roster after having worked as an analyst all of last season for the Lakers television station, Time Warner Cable SportsNet, gave him the early edge.

    Scott then impressed Lakers management during three interviews, the last of which took place after the team's roster had been filled out and Scott was given a chance to articulate his vision for the current personnel.

    The Lakers interviewed a handful of candidates for the job, but after making quick hires in their past two coaching searches, the franchise decided to prioritize the draft and free agency over hiring a coach.

    Bryant, who played with Scott in 1996 during his rookie season, offered a key endorsement during his basketball camp in Santa Barbara, California, three weeks ago.

    "He was my rookie mentor when I first came into the league," Bryant said. "So I had to do things like get his doughnuts and run errands for him and things like that. We've had a tremendously close relationship throughout the years. So, obviously, I know him extremely well. He knows me extremely well. I've always been a fan of his."

    Nash will get injured some how so if he does start it'll be short lived.

    So we are still going to run with Nash as the starter over Lin?

    Don't see why not, Nash = better shooter and playmaker they both trash on D plus Nash needs to start games faster, he can't warm-up then sit on the bench and let his muscles tense up

    It is what is a far as expectations go...some in here may have unrealistic thoughts on how the season gonna go but part of being a fans is being able to be optimistic and have that feeling that their team can overachieve so to speak.I'm more realistic about what our season probably gonna look like but i'm passed ? about it. I'm probably wrong cause i don't post a lot but it seem like u can't take the ridicule that's comes with losing...and wanna start fresh when we contenders again.

    Like i said i'm probably wrong...but phrases like fast forward the season say otherwise. I'm with u tho my expectations are low for the season but i don't knock others in here for being "optimistic".
