The Los Angeles Lakers have decided to part ways with head coach Byron Scott, who led the NBA club to a franchise worst 17-65 record in Kobe Bryant's final season. The Lakers announced Sunday night they would not pick up the option on Scott's contract for the 2016-17 season. "We would like to thank Byron for his hard work, dedication and loyalty over the last two years, but have decided it is in the best interest of the organization to make a change at this time," said general manager Mitch Kupchak.
