Phil Jackson's Replacement

What would Phil Jackson's motivation be to continue coaching after this year? Jeanie Buss? Yeah right! sometimes I think she is with him just to keep him coaching LA and we wonder why he has severe back pain LOL homegirl wears him out. Anyway tomorrow Phil will begin coaching in his thirteenth nba championship, has plenty of money, and nothing else to prove, I mean let's face it he's the greatest! I'm thinking that Phil should ride off into the sunset win or lose to Boston. Which brings me to the question who will be his replacement. (Drum Roll) And the replacement is Byron Scott! Think about it he's a former laker that has championship experience as both a player and coach and unlike Phil he was actually a decent player. This would more than likely be his easiest job yet because the team is already built for success! When Scott arrived in Jersey the team was coming off a 31-51 season and by his third year they were in the championship. If not for Jason Kidd allegedly running him outta there they may have went on to actually win a ring. In New Orleans he went on to be coach of the year in 2008. In my opinion he wasn't treated fairly in NO as evidenced by there being a fire byron scott website which appeared to influence the decision of management. Scott has proven to be an efficient offensive coach (check the stats) and was a huge part of Chris Paul's development who by the way did not want Scott to be fired. Don't get me wrong though there are some knocks on Scott which include his inability to make in game adjustments along with inconsistency. However let me say again the Lakers are built to win now! If I were the Lakers I would start looking into replacements prior to the end of this postseason. The last thing LA needs is for Phil to retire and they have no plan B. And did I mention the Lakers at one point hired Kurt Rambis for crying out loud!! There are rumors coming outta Cleveland that Scott is a possibility there, so again LA better be thinking.
