Byron said he has weekly analytics talks with assistants. Says he listens. Have any coaching decisions stemmed from those convos? "No."

Of analytics, particularly SportVU, Kupchak told ESPN 710, "it’s of most use to a coaching staff." But Byron Scott says it's of no use.

How does this dude keep getting jobs? I mean all he does is lose games and stand there with his arms crossed.

By living off of a certain 2 year period in his career.

NBA GM: We really need to suck this season, and the the man best suited for that task is Byron Scott.

I love this so much. How many extra years of head coaching jobs did Chris Paul give this dude?

Shocking.

Seeing as they're trying to tank, I guess you can't have someone that knows that the hell they're doing, so kudos Lakers.

I hate to defend Scott but he is not even in the conversation of worst head coach in the history of the NBA. Go look at the roster of the two Nets teams he took to the NBA finals.
