Byron Scott: “JJ has no coaching experience whatsoever, and it’s hard jumping in that seat as a first-time head coach… It’s a tough, tough job, and it’s really even tougher for guys who have never had any coaching experience.”

Wellp that settles it for me. If Byron said that, I’m signing JJ asap.
I was thinking same way but listenin from byron i might be wrong.
Why aren’t his arms folded?
So sign JJ?
Gotcha.
Thanks guy with coaching experience who was probably the worst coach we’ve ever had, we’ll take that into consideration
JJ is only temporary. He will be fired in two years.
He’s not wrong regardless of how good he was/is.
I wholeheartedly agree Byron. All you said was coaching is hard. It’s even harder when you have no experience.
Imagine how hard that ish could be for a dude who can’t even see Anthony Davis is great on defense.
I mean he his 100% right. Doesn’t mean JJ isn’t up to the task
Linda approves JJ cause he’s cute that’s what matters.
Byron was a terrible coach, but he ain’t wrong. I feel if the Lakers go for JJ, they have no expectation that Bron is going to re-sign and are embracing the tank. There is just no other reason to hire a head coach who has never coached at any level. Hiring someone who has never coached for a win-now team (which is the expectation for a Bron/AD team) would be one of the dumbest things the FO has done
I came to see Scott roasted
Nobody, and I mean nobody with zero coaching experience should be hired as an NBA coach. Like what the fuck?
So he used Steve Nash as a bad example, what about Steve Kerr and Larry Bird as good examples?
It doesn’t stop him from being a good head coach if he otherwise is capable. That’s really the question. He’s been around enough to know how the NBA works and how basketball works.
JJ “dinosaurs aren’t real” Reddick is a grifter.
I know we love shitting on Byron but he is not wrong here.
You can bring in an experienced head coach, an assistant coach with experience or a coach that has very little experience at all and they can all suck and be bad the same. Byron should know especially.
Fact is there aren’t really any prominent clear cut coaching candidates especially for a team like the lakers. Another fact is if LeBron does stay with the team, most likely than not their will be major changes when he does leave in a couple years so whatever decision lakers make now most likely will change again post lebron. Do what you can to make LeBron/AD happy or start your rebuild without LeBron this summer.
Sure, it’s tough, but the special ones make it work. If the Lakers hire JJ, they’re clearly betting on him being a special guy. There have been coaches with no prior experience who outperformed Byron Scott, even though he spent two years as an assistant before becoming a head coach.
If JJ is hired as head coach of the Lakers
He only stated facts and he is getting flamed here for no reason…
This has become a joke and hiring Redick would be an even bigger one
