Mitch Kupchak wanted no part of discussing Byron Scott's coaching

All indications point to Los Angeles Lakers head coach Byron Scott being allowed to coach the team for the rest of the 2015-16 season. After that, Scott has one guaranteed year left on his contract, followed by a team option. According to the most recent report the organization is "torn" on whether or not to fire Scott this summer after he coaches the Lakers to a franchise worst record for the second consecutive season, or to give him a chance to see what he can do with a more talented roster.
