The Los Angeles Lakers are ushering in a new era with former player Luke Walton replacing Byron Scott as the team’s head coach. Walton will take the helm with a talented young roster at his disposal. The former Golden State Warriors assistant coach hopes to bring a progressive style of basketball to Los Angeles in hopes of turning around the storied franchise which has missed the playoffs for three consecutive seasons.
Recently, Walton made an appearance on The Big Podcast With Shaq to talk about his new gig with the Lakers. Shaquille O’Neal asked his former teammate what his expectations are heading into his first season as head coach in Los Angeles:
The expectations for me aren’t gonna be wins and losses right now, at least.
