I think most want Byron fired because of the asinine comments he makes everyday. Then also the fact that he's hurting development of our kids.

Yeah, unless things get historically bad (possible given his incompetence and schedule) I think he's staying until the season is over.He keeps the old guard happy with his old school Laker ways and appeases Kobe.
But given where the Lakers are at, isn't it kind for the best that Byron ride out the season? He'll help ensure that they'll get a high draft position. Then they can find someone new when Kobe retires and the rebuilding process can actually begin.

The TEAM would not be good under any coach. That is probably true.
However, the development of the young players can be altered or adjusted depending on the coaching, so when it comes to developing youth and talent, coaching does matter in this context and in that regard, LAL has failed their young talent with scott.

Danny Green been so bad that he's been dropped from the 3 fantasy leagues I'm in.
7.5 PER tho :x 29% from 3
I wonder what could be the issue?

I know about last season, thought you were talking about this year. They've just recently gone more triangle heavy in the past couple games. The common denominator going back to mda is kobe, he's the one that insists on it and from what I know the princeton isn't that much different from the triangle anyway.
He is single handedly losing games and putting players in the worst possible position. I'm not saying they would definitely win some of these games with better coaching but I am saying he is absolutely the reason for these losses. He puts winnable games completely out of reach, consistently.

He'll probably get it together and find his footing from three, but from what I've seen teams have him on his scouting report. That is, they are treating him like Miami did in G6&G7 of the 14' finals.
He doesn't move fluidly when he moves off the ball, and is pretty much a set shooter. He's getting ran off the 3 a lot which results in him throwing up caca.

Yeah I agree. They are sisters if you will, from offensive sets. The only thing I disagree with, is that LAL been running a lot of triangle this season even dating to the preseason. (Against Maccabi, GSW, off the top of my head it's almost all they ran)
Kobe's been in the triangle for so long, that all of his motions on the floor (where he catches the ball, where he operates, etc.) are triangle influenced. His influence bleeds over to the coaching, and the players and as a result they end up running triangle. It's all Kobe knows.
The proof of this is that every coach the Lakers have had since PJ left in 04' the Lakers ran triangle a lot. Hamblen, Rudy, PJ again, Mike Brown, MDA, Byron, they all ran a lot of triangle. Common demoninator? Kobe.

He's not getting the ball the same way that he used to which is a part of it but iIhonestly think that it's just lack of practice. It's a total regression from all aspects, even the slight improvement he made putting the ball on the ground is gone.
I don't know him personally to make any real assumptions but it feel like he didn't play at all this summer t

Most of the coaches are average and their talent will dictate the team's outcome, then you got the top coaches that take their teams over the top (Popovich, Carlise, etc), and then you got the leftover coaches that are garbage and drag their teams down immensely (Byron).

No I agree that they run it a lot. Just saying there's been even more of it recently. Dlo playing better may be a coincidence or it could be them (kobe) running more triangle and dlo focusing more on his own offense.

Byron has always used triangle sets. Especially in Cleveland. Guy is terrible, but he won't be let go until the end of the season. That's my prediction.

Then you got the coaches who are overrated and think of themselves in the Pop and Carlisle class, but are actually closer to the retread category. (Hint on who I'm thinking of - he works across the hall from Byron).

Yeah I 100% agree with this. It legit looks like over the past 5 games or so they've abandoned everything else and are running strictly triangle.
I think DLo playing better is him getting more confident and sure of himself, which has made him explore what he can and can't do on the offensive side of the ball, even within the triangle.

Doc's a top 3 coach to me when it comes to X's and O's man. His rotations though are unjustifiably bad and his in game management (Rotations, when to call timeouts, lack of creativity with resting core players etc.) leave a lot to be desired.

I see...and I get that, trust me.
Especially living out here in the Bay. Just as early as a few years ago, the majority of the Bay was NOT talking about the Warriors until AFTER football was over. When it was football season, it was ALL Niners. I even have a yelp review from like 5 years back where I went to this "sports" bar and they had like 15 different tvs and I asked if they could switch just ONE of the tvs to the Warriors games and they wouldn't because "everyone was there to see the Niners" was their reply.
NOW i bet those chumps are showing nothing BUT Warrior games and NO niner games. So I definitely hear you on the bandwagon nature of some of these fans. I'm honestly VERY curious to see what the crowd will be like tomorrow at the Oracle because EVERY time we play the Lakers, it used to be a TON of "Laker" fans. It'll be interesting to see if there will still be the same amount or did they all of a sudden convert back to being "Warrior" fans.
