L.A. Lakers Ex-Coach Byron Scott Says Team is Still Not Good Enough, Even With Lonzo Ball

When Lonzo Ball arrived in Los Angeles at the end of June as the second pick of the NBA draft, Magic Johnson believed the Lakers were heading back toward greatness. Step-by-step, Johnson said, the Lakers would get closer to the NBA championship, and Ball's arrival was such a big leap that he suggested the 19-year-old's jersey will eventually be retired. New Lakers coach Luke Walton seems to have the team back on course.
