Byron Scott ‘felt deceived, lied to and betrayed’ by the Los Angeles Lakers

Byron Scott's got a new book out, and the former Los Angeles Lakers coach decided recently to dig into the George Karl-styled approach to pushing units. The Lakers coach from 2014 through 2016, fired in advance of two team option years in favor of Luke Walton last spring, spoke his piece with the Orange County Register's Mark Medina. The former Laker playing legend relayed the frustration that set in when what appeared to be a four-year plan for the Lakers coach was cut short after two tumultuous rebuilding years.
