Byron Scott is in the final year of his contract with the Hornets.

Scott grew up in Inglewood and played for the Lakers during his playing days.

"Obviously, I love this place. (The Lakers were) my team. I still tell people I bleed purple and gold, no matter what. And I always will," Scott said while the Hornets were playing in Los Angeles.

"Like Jerry West will always be a Laker, and he's the one who brought me here. That's like my Dad. So that's always going to be associated with this organization. It's not bad. It's not good. It's good for me. This is still home. In the summer, I still come back here."

Scott added that it's "crazy to speculate" that he could coach the Lakers in the future.
