that's true but the fact that right now they want him for 4 years means that it's not a temporary venture and they really think that he fits the bill. hope they are right and that it pans out.
baka standard lang talaga nila 4 year deals? haha look at Potatohead's and Pringles' contracts. 4 year-deals din yata pareho, IIRC.
Anyway, I loved seeing the support Scott got kanina from his former teammates. Magic, Kareem and Wilkes were present during the presscon for B. Scott. Magic had expressed his dislike for the Mike D'antoni hiring before so seeing his pal getting the head coaching job for the P&G is definitely a positive sign for him. Dito mo makikita kung gano kaganda yung organization because former players still gravitate towards the purple and gold kahit na their playing days have long been over.
Sila Magic, Kareem, Worthy, Cooper, Scott, Rambis, Rick Fox and Horry are still hardcore Lakers guys. Jerry West din pala.
Old school Celtics ganun din. Hardcore. Can't say the same for many of the other franchises though. Maybe sa Rockets since Olajuwon and Clyde are still hardcore Rockets guys as well as sa Spurs na merong Admiral but there's not a lot of former players na very loyal to their former teams.
