Byron Scott Out, Luke Walton In...
The king is dead, long live the king.
Barely a week ago, the Lakers let Byron Scott go. Technically, they chose not to pick up his option, as opposed to firing him. Technically. But before we could get around to talking about it, BAM! The Lakers went out and landed Luke Walton, the beloved former Laker and hottest name remaining on the coaching market this offseason. So ... good move? We discuss.
(Spoiler alert, we're not booing, we're saying "Luuuuuuuuuuuke.")
All that, plus all of your NBA headlines, including Carmelo Anthony making it abundantly clear he doesn't want to Kurt Rambis coaching him next year, the Clippers again facing questions, and the Space Jam reboot lands its director. (Which is really just an excuse for AK to talk about The Fast and the Furious franchise.)
Plus, another peek at the Secret LaMarcus Aldridge Audio Recordings, a statue for Byron Scott, and a big week in Magic Johnson tweets!
