When it comes to whether Byron Scott will return as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers for the third season of his contract in 16-17, the franchise "seems torn."

Scott is expected to coach the Lakers for at least the remainder of the current season. There are some who wonder if Scott will do better with a better roster.

The Lakers have parted with Mike Brown and Mike D'Antoni before their contracts expired.

Scott is in the second season of a four-year, $17 million contract.
