Current head coach and former Laker Byron Scott has been at the helm for the last two seasons. Los Angeles has won just 38 games since he took over and with the amount of respected good coaches on the market it’s something general manager Mitch Kupchak has to think about.

Scott has gotten a lot of drawback from his body work since joining the team and I’m not sure if that criticism is entirely fair. The Lakers lack the necessary talent to compete in the Western Conference but Scott hasn’t done himself any favors with the club’s lack of commitment to defense.

If the Lakers do decide to part ways with Scott they should do it sooner rather than later in order to explore all of their options.
