Thank you AD!
Ikr 😂💀
AD deserves a STATUE for this!!!
lol
😂😂😂
I agree 👍🏼
When players are confused about the plays, defense they're supposed to run, coaching is not for u.
AD was in the trenches and could see the ineptitude of Ham ! Thumbs up for AD speaking up !
For me I felt like AD was speaking for the whole team. Lebron couldn't say it, the media would destroy him..
I don't care who wanted Darvin Fired I'm just glad Pockets is gone.
😂
He was scapegoated
@@ki2726 The man don't know when to take timeouts to disrupt the momentum of the opponents, but at this point i think only gregg popovich, pat riley and phil jackson are the only coach that lebron will respect lmao remember "you can't teach old dogs new tricks".
I believe it was the Laker fanbase that got him fired 😂
everybody except prince and his fnbys.
crazy how all the media crucified lebron but AD is the one that got ham fired lol
And NONE of them are gonna say my bad I was wrong
It sounds better when it's Lebron. It is what it is.
Who cares if AD left bron would’ve left too so you choose ham or AD not a hard choice
We need a coach that can lead and make in-game adjustments.
Ham got Ham fired.
AD NEEDS to get fired up !
Ham is a great coach who was scapegoated and deserves another head coaching job
@@ki2726nah ham has a very low bb IQ. The best he can do is serve as an assistant coach
Yes. Ham's deficiencies got him fired, no one else.
@@ki2726 How can Ham be a "great coach' when he's only been a head coach for 2 years? hahaha smh
@@ki2726you must apart of that man’s team or something lmao it’s no way in the world you really think that ? That man is horrible
I see this as an absolute win either way. As a fan I couldn’t stand to see the way Darvin was coaching and for it to be backed by our best AND second best players let’s me know I’m not crazy.
Yup! It seems the only people that were on Ham's side was after he was fired were ex NBA players. As far as who the next coach will be- who would want this job? Until management gets cleaned up, being a Laker head coach will always be a crap sandwich of a job.
Dlo was right about his favorite players
Can we now stop blaming Bron for everything including the end of world…
They'll blame Bron for the weather
No bro his haters are in love with him
WestBRICK STANS are blaming Bron for BRICKbrooks atrocious performance vs Dallas in the 1st round
lol
@@LongLiveRed-qm5geLeSkippy Bayless is evidence that Brons haters are more obsessed with the guy than his biggest fanyboys
lol
@@Nostalgia9478Yep
It’s nice to hear you talk about AD thank you
Agreed, I feel like he's one of the least talked about lakers
He needs to go back at his normal position and he’ll be the greatest pf in the nba
@@WavesBland26 Lebron can play SF like he did before alongside AD in the first place where they had the most success
@@WavesBland26They can for stretches
he cant if their center's are like wood and hayes, they need a C who can shoot 3s, who can space the floor, get the opponents C to move out in the perimeter for ad to dominate inside
@@brrrrambo3983 wood can shoot 3's
@@brrrrambo3983 so basically ur saying the lakers should get their own jokic ?
This is a really speculative article. Let's be real here. If the Lakers were REALLY trying to appease AD, they would add a legit center to the roster and let AD move back to the 4.
Facts
We need to hire Sam Cassell
he has 0 experience
@@yosefvargasxUs fans have 0 experience as well but we know how to coach. We know when a coach should call timeout and not take a player out.
Please Sam Cassell. The man genuinely looks like fun to be around and I believe would do a great job as head coach.
I hope so too
Dude looks like one fun Alien
lol
Just want a coach that knows how to make in game adjustments and knows when to call a time out.
Last thing the Lakers need is an inexperienced coach.
AD didn't have to. The writing's on the wall since 5-5 record.
Thank you Ad!
The outside shot was never really there. I remember on the Thinking Basketball podcast they mentioned how 2019-2020 was the anomalous season for ADs outside shot.
AD has been elite in the dunkers spot (something he was able to do better in the 2019-2021 season due to the way the team was built).
The team will obviously need some better players once LeBron retires but I still think AD will be capable of being the best player on a championship team when he is 33.
Thanks!
Hopefully that means they get him a center like he’s been asking for the last 2 seasons
SAME CASSELL
That was obvious when he said were lost on offense and defense. lol
will the players get blamed when they brick wide open looks like they did vs denver? or will that be blamed on the new coach as usual?
@SilverBored20 Well, the players take the best shot that the offense creates so a better coach can create a more suited offense for this team allowing them to take and make better shots.
@@Flush0000 so the players won't be blamed for bricking wide open looks and not making lay ups next season.
@@WavesBland26bro they think changing the coach will magically help Rui make corner 3’s and turn AR into a defensive jugguanant . Rui was also getting lost chasing MPJ all series. He sucks defensively. We might just need better players suited to help us win 😂
@@WavesBland26 coach as usual bro. Been watching sports for decades is not going to change, unless the coach is Spo, pop or any coach like that.
Sam Cassell over JJ Reddick,he has put in the work over the years
Hell no not Sam cassell
@Infinitefuture6 Okay then who?
Does he have any jewelry doing it?
Using your logic, D Ham put in the work.
@quaoar213 Well, he did put in the work being an assistant coach for all the years he was coaching and he was given a chance he did make alot of mistakes but it just wasn't his fault.OK, smart guy who would u like to be the next lakers coach?
The Lakers Need to Sign Reddick, LeBron, Mitchell, Bronnie, and a Defensive/Rebounding Big! 💜✌💛
AD flexing that super star power! Thank you AD!!!😊
an yet AD has a bad game fans are like trade him he is awful!!! lol
lol love the thumbnail Trevor 😂
We should build around AD!! You right about everything Lane.
Wooooo🎉
The biggest takeaway for me is not necessarily tohe singular act of Darvin getting fired. I already got the relief and joy of Ham getting canned. What makes me happy here is that we are seeing AD assert himself. We already saw his play surpass Bron in last year's run to the Western Conference finals, due to Bron's injury. We are now starting to see signs from different areas of AD owning his position as THE GUY.
well he isn't wrong lakers coaching job has to be the most stressful coaching job in sports. no way do the lakers have a roster good enough to win a title and fans ignore how good every roster in the west has gotten better.
How did AD get those injuries? He got those injuries from prodominantly playing at the 5. AD needs reps from shooting the 3. Draft a big, move Christian Wood on the 2nd rotation at the 4. Colin Castleton would be okay as a second Center on 2nd or 3rd rotation center.
U do realize he’s played his most game for his career under Ham right ? 😂
AD: naw I don’t want JJ Bron
Lakers fans you excited after T-Wolves beating defending champion nuggets in 7 game OMG☝️☝️🔥🔥🔥🥳
Thank you ad
How long for the next coach - 2, 3, or 4+ years?
If Redick is supported with a solid seasoned staff chances of success go through roof. Add coach K and it’s legit.
I have to say: the qualities the Lakers are looking for in an available coach is nearly pie in the sky. Getting 2 or 3 of those qualities would work for now. We aren't getting a 45 year old Pat Riley for example.
Building around a guy in they mid 30s is insane
Whos in their mid 30s?
Who is mid 30s ? That man is 31 and even after his contract is up he wont even be 35 lol relax
@@akeemparchment5411 you build around young guys in 20s
LABRON FOR (COACH / PLAYER)
MAKES MORE SENSE
THAN (ANYONE ELSE)
JJ - HELL NO NO !!!
So say it again…. It was AD not Bron😂
It sounds better to haters to say it was Lebron
We want Sam. Not know damn JJ
LeBron wants JJ
Thanks AD.
Lakers need to start looking at their future RN .
Pleaaaase run the offense trough AD finally. We wasted enough time! And give him touches in the fourth for gods sake. He showed how clutch he can be when giving the Chance
Truthfully.........
Y'all know that it was the Sport's Commentators who questioned every move, and didn't give Darvin Ham the same type of praise as they did criticism.
My end game with Ham was the WCF last year Game #1, when he rolled out that 3 guard lineup..it made absolutely no sense..
At that time Denver and its fan base were in fear if what the Lakers would do.
The Laker just did something no team in west had done in 10 years..beat GSW in the Playoffs..our confidence was sky high..
All Ham had to do was start Vando his brst on ball defender,, put him on Murray, push more minutes on Dennis his best point of attack defender..ease D'lo into the series because he was the weak link in the chain..
Always have Rui defend the Joker or gordon Let bron shadow Porter..cheat off him to bring help ..
Denver at that time still wasn't sure of what they were.
Damn
Prepare for more underwhelming seasons if the Lakers select jj Reddick. I can guarantee you that his inexperience will show in big moments. Also, if this team isn't upgraded then don't expect LA to make it far next season
Anyone that thinks the Lakers should have kept Ham and risk losing LeBron and AD is not a Lakers fan. Lakers fans watched the games. We know the frustration of watching Darvin Ham coach. So suck it and STFU!
Go Trev! You're the best! 🏀
LBJ wanted better players, he never complained about the coach.
I think they need to max Defense so Anthony Davis need a perimetral defensive combo guard with clutch , like Vincent or schroder , Both definitely will be better . So you need a protector of the rim to use Davis in the perimeter, with vando and Reaves . You need to vando be better and catch and shoot 3 on the corner , use reaves also as a combo guard . They need to Christian wood be phisically better , I like castelton , I think hood schifino is going to be a good player , Christie , Lewis , Bronny all are good passers . . I think lakers can use the money that dlo in using in clutch time a defensive mind point guard . Rui needs to be better at perimeter with best lateral moves .add schröder for dlo and cam Redish . Keep everybody
Its been AD team the last 3 years but nothing changed, Lebron said they will run the offense through AD, if they would they still in the Playoffs
Whoever we get they need to have some kind of championship background
Rajon Rondo.
Media: Nah, nah, LeGm pulled the trigger.
The Lakers should hire Mark Jackson and force him to hire JJ as an assistant and run back the GSW’s dynasty build. MJ started the GSW’s dynasty build and Kerr ended up as the coach with all the rings. Can JJ start a good Lakers next build?
True they don’t care about ad because they never gave him another legit big man or two to help play the four
Like 2020 champiñones
Not Susprised. 💯
He is not LAs future, he's already there. The future is the next few guys that come in. They will be viewed as the future.
Ham always insisting on using small ball for 2 yrs now. Not thinking that the blueprint for the lakers is to go big like the bubble team. Not using Hayes, wood, max and his 2 way 7footers earlier.
Not JJ Redderick 🤬
Who’s a coach out there that you would prefer? Refrain from saying “anyone but JJ Redick.”
I just want a coach that knows how to make in game adjustments and knows when to call a time out. If JJ can do that, Welcome!
@@JoshuaMartian-go3tm 💯 agreed! It’s a tough market right now. If Ty Lue is available that’s who we need but if not then I’m ok with JJ. I did not want another year of Darvin.
finding a coach is always a gamble. kerr had no coaching or assistant coaching experience. doc rivers has plenty. jj reddick could be a revelation ... or cause another lakernation revolution.
@@chocotengoku People are saying Cassell. I'm OK with that. Personally I want Rondo. If we are going to take a guy with no coaching experience, I'll take Rondo over Reddick any day. Rondo has always been one of the smartest players in the league and a coach on the floor.
Im curious about how JJ even got on the radar as a coach. How did he become a possible candidate?
You know how.
Lebrons been interviewing him on their podcast 😅
Just hearing him analyze games, defenses. Breaking down plays, it's obvious to most, even to other players he's a brain about basketball. I remember the same talk about Lue even when he was still playing. The only difference is Lue had coaching staff and assistant coaching experience where JJ hasn't. Kerr is more like JJ in that he was a player, turned tv announcer. No assistant coaching experience except for executive and small ownership. So it's not so extreme to consider JJ.
@@JoshuaMartian-go3tm JJ has also said that Larry Bird couldn't play in today's NBA, that Jordan played in a soft era, that somehow the 6 expansion teams with 12 man rosters (6X12= 72) dumped 90 players into the league, all at once, and not slowly, over a decade, which watered down MJ's era. Personally, I'd rather see Rondo get the coaching job. Here's a guy who isn't spitting out hot takes, has championship experience, and is also known for his basketball IQ.
@@Davivd2 That's JJ's opinion just like everyone else who plays that "what if" game. My era against yr era. It's easy to do cuz it can never happen. There are variables that can only be debated but never actually tested. But he's entitled just like y or me or Stephen A. It's silly to say his is less or more than likely as urs. As for Rondo, one, he doesn't want to coach according to Bron on a podcast. He said Rondo is very smart but doesn't want to deal with entitled rich players. Two, his pending gn possession, reckless driving, drg charge, with a child in the car and domestic protection order issue and pending Supreme court 2nd amendment case. So, no Rondo aint gonna be the Laker coach anytime soon. lol
Hamm's coaching incompetence got him fired!!!! Thank GOD!!!
dont matter how it happened as long as it happened
AD is taking leadership. 💜💛
Coach ham had his chances for 2 season in LA.he came up short so no one to blame but coach ham😮😮😮
Darvin Ham wasn’t the only person in AD’s way 😉
AD & Lebron always been on the same page & are good friends….they both want to win & have the same goal. Don’t separate it like “ AD wants”. The goal for everyone should always be 🏆 💜💛
The Lakers has this long list for a new headcoach, and I agree with a lot of these pre-qualifications. My question is, why is JJ name even mentioned. This guy has only coached a youth league! I'm pretty sure you can't say a man who has no coaching experience is a grinder, developer of talent, etc.
Could you imagine if Lakers were to keep Del Harris and not hire Phil back in the days?
Actually it was Kurt Rambis who took over for Del Harris before Phil Jackson
So JJ has 6 rings already. Are you a dunce
ham may be a great coach one day but just not now. with this team.
AD i didnt know i could love you even more
If this is true thn thy were correct, for AD to be totally out of the offense in large spans is a total failure...
Well, thank you AD!!!!
they could just get vogel back and a shooter and a C (who can atleast shoot 3 with big body) if dlo will be back nxt season
Much like he who shall not be named said about Bret Hart, "Darvin, screwed Darvin."
Ham should have never been hired in the first place. Frank Vogel was a good coach. And it was the Lakers own fault that they missed out on Ty Lue. They have noone to blame but themselves. And I have nothing against JJ but it's even worse than an Assistant coach. It's no coaching experience whatsoever. But knowing this team they will hire JJ and give him an assistant coach that used to be a head coach. Make that make sense. SMH
Very disappointing to see commercials now popping up on the program.
Coach of the Lakers and QB of the Cowboys.
The games against the Nuggets weren't blow out games (pause) they were hella close
Darvin was start struck coaching Lebron, just look at the plays called in crunch time, Lebron ISO, anytime the Lakers' needed a bucket, he was the best option.....AD is a bucket all day against any big in the League
When players don't take accountability in loosing they always blame the coach.
Job is for Cassell.... It's been his time. Man has done everything in this game except be a head coach.
Kinda like the idea of Cassell… he’ll take no crap and fight to win…. And if a pencil is nearby players better listen up.
What did Mark Jackson do that the nba is black balling him? He is clearly the best coach on the market that no teams are talking about.
I’d say Sam but I think the lakers should hire jj as an assistant. He was on duke under coach k he understand basketball
That means that the Lakers will have another losing season!🤣 LeBron put a battery in AD back!! He ain't built like that.
Funny when other reporters talk about accountability, when Ham was the one not accountable. No integrity. No honor. No heart. I would say no brains but i do not wish to call him stupid. ;) 💛💜
The lakers should just choose a coach to trust
It wasn’t Darvins fault he was a shitty coach, it was the front offices for putting a rookie coach in there to waste yet another two years of Brons time left! Especially when we all knew Ham was a bad choice then! As long as Jeanie is in charge and Rob is still in there, it will be more of the same!
Players grow up, they get smarter and approach the game differently to put them in a good situation to be available on the court all season. Production still same or even better but they definitely pick and choose when to go all in as long as they are healthy. AD and Bron are in solid form still LOL cant be reckless and doing too much when not needed i think its longevity game at this point but yeah they are still top player for sure. Please build roaster that fits and compliment AD and Bron this time and we going to the championship. its team work and not to rely on 1 or 2 guys to save they day. Better others unlock AD and Bron to play free without thinking oh i gotta do this or maybe i cant do that coz trust aint there with others to do their jobs at high level.
how can u question if we should build around a hof player thats deadly on offense and defense ofcourse we should and when lebron retire lakers gonna get someone to add to ad another star
Ham was fired the moment Pelinka and Buss decided to go cheap and hire a guy who was not HC material. They are heading down the same path again with Redick. And maybe fans should remember that Kobe and shaq pretty much put the pressure on west to move on from dull harris (and rambis) and magic basically cornered jerry Buss to ax Paul westhead.
A winning-now team can not have a newbie as a head coach,come on!!
AD needs to be the focal point of our offense and defense. LBJ will just have to take a back seat from him.
CORRECT. I mean how hard is it to figure out? You need DYNAMIC guard/wing, to pair with A.D. Also, a mobile center. They MISSED OUT, on Daniel Gafford.
I think we need to anthony davis to power forward & get another center.
Trevor trying so bad to jinx the JJ hiring 🤣🤣🤣
I think Sam would be better than JJ if those are the choices for the coach of the Lakers. I've listened to interviews with both of them. I get that LeBron knows, has played with a lot of retired players and coaches, but if you hire JJ, LeBron and him are friends, so it's going to be friends coaching the franchise. He's not going to be able to tell LeBron how he wants things. It's sort of a conflict of interest. LeBron and AD should have a say, but the organization should make the final decision. It has to be someone with some kind of experience.
I don't give a damm who got who fire, what I want is for our two guys to have one more chance, I keep watching this playoffs and saying to myself, what does guy do better than lebron and AD can't and I think nothing what they have is better role players who are just playing huge minutes that what I want, Lebron and Ad with a competent cast fighting to win the trophy
Here’s a hire. Byron Scott or mark jackson.
Darvin ham got himself fired
