Seriously I don’t get it. Everybody is completely flipping out over the the firing of Darvin they didn’t watch every single game like we did
Remember it’s all about clicks, views and engagement. If you’re on a big platform and you take a contrarian position against the Lakers fan base you’re going to get more views, shares and hate spewed at you because there’s so many Lakers fans. The incentive is to piss people off not inform.
It's truly mind-boggling.
It’s NBA media… everything is about clicks/views and narratives.
It should be obvious. They know he's bad and they want us to fail. Plus, they get to make the Lakers look OK like a place no good coach would want a job for.
Facts their trying to make this a "blame the black coach" thing, but dude just isn't ready to be a head coach.
He's inexperienced and this season showed he wasn't the guy for the job.
They don’t watch the lakers unless it’s on TNT and they’re forced to
Or any game Doris Burke calls
they job is to watch the lakers 😂😂 they literally say something on air after every game just shut up lol
Get Marc Jackson!!!! How does Trevor miss this???
Everyone just hates Lebron..that is where its all rooted
Dawg take his meat outchyo mouth. Profile pic too, holy glazing
fr bro. everyone wants to blame a 39 year old lebron for everything when hes still at least the second best player on the lakers and the best player down the stretch. Its sad idk what hes done to deserve all the hate he gets
I agree ☝🏻
lol 😂the man a coach killer don't take accountability
KMcNair
At least his GM didn't fire the coach and player after a 3 peat.
Gotta love Jerry Krause telling Jordan he's 🗑
😂
The hypocritical reaction about Ham's firing is more proof of the vendetta against the Lakers from the media and rival organizations who don't want the Lakers to improve their roster or coaching staff due to professional jealousy.
Lol go talk to cavs and heat fans...it's just what comes with LeBron James..the Lakers sold their souls for LeBron so now take what comes with LeBron
@@MrKeydeveiousi It's not LeBron's fault that Ham was a horrible coach. LeBron has won a championship for every team he has played for. So he has more than held up his end of the bargain and came through in his career which is extremely admirable since he's only played for two elite coaches (Erik Spoelstra & Ty Lue) in his career.
@@erikkdane8485that’s not the point, it flew right over your head. The point is we could have Phil Jackson, spoelstra, or popavich as our coach and Lebron would still get him fired if they lost….
Exactly 💯
It was dirty for the Lakers GM to not give head coach Darvin Ham a 5-7 year veteran 2-Guard with a Defense 1st Mentality so he would have replaced Austin Reaves permanently
Seriously did anyone hear the players and see what was going on. The media can go f themselves. This guy had to go, point blank period.
lol that’s what I’m saying. 4 different players made subtle comments about Ham’s coaching. Name a time that that’s ever happened in a winning season? That just tells you how players viewed him.
You don't play basketball I see Darvin ham can't blow a 20 point lead
@@dickieleonard2727 you’re just proving his point.
You argument is based on them blowing a 20pt lead. Plus, that 20pt lead loss was also on Ham. Go watch the game, we were up 19 on the 3rd and then see at what point Darvin asked for a time out. Then compare it to when Malone asked his time outs. It’s day and night. That’s been happening all season long. Not to mention his terrible line ups and clearly favoring the players he worked with before. And don’t even get me starting with his terrible PR approach.
Lakers fans were asking for Ham’s head waaaay before that 20pt blow out. People were asking for Ham’s head even before the play in tournament win.
And also it’s not only Ham’s head, it’s Pelinka too and Buss too.
I hope your team hires Darvin Ham. After 2 months you’ll be asking for his head too.
No more rookie coaches! Lakers haven't hired a 1st time coach that went on to have any success as HC anywhere else in 30 years! Pfund, Magic, Bertka, Rambis, Walton, Ham
I don’t think their gonna hire Jj he’s to in experienced I think their higher the assistant coach from golden state
Meh, that list is proof that they hired bad rookie coaches and missed on hiring good rookie coaches like Kerr, Spolstra, Udoka, Jason Kidd, Ty Lue,
Every great coach was a rookie HC at one point in his career so that analysis is faulty at best.
Western Conference Finals. In season banner. Rookie coach accomplished more than half the experienced coaches currently in the NBA. Nuggets sweeping the common sense out of emotional Laker trash.
@@MaoDopamineDong the Laker trash you speak of is the fans LeEGO brought with him. Even some of the younger real Laker Fans. But most of us Really Longtime Laker Fans are abandoning ship, LeEGO has destroyed the franchise, and Jeannie Buss let it happen.
The media are casual observers who only tune in for primetime games. Us real fans who watch every game, start to finish, from October to season end knows the fukery Ham was on. That’s it that’s all. 3rdQ game 5 was the icing on the cake. Let a 10pt lead evaporate no timeout but you call it once the team is down 3. Naw bruh.
Delusional
@@mike_3613you’re a casual
Casual spotted stand down Casual fan sir .
@@aidenxccx2949 naw you’re just stupid
Please not jj lord. We been through this first year head coach shit already. Jj got literally no coaching experience. Assistant coach? Ya i could b convinced but cmon
Not much of an option unless the other coaches want the job
Just the fact that Ham overplayed Reddish, Dinwiddie and Vincent and barely played Max Christie at all is grounds enough for him being fired, let alone his many other issues with rotations, substitutions, timeouts, challenges, communicating with players, etc.
Yeah it’s not like Max Christie was a rookie this year, he’s put in the work and this was the season he was supposed to have an actual role on the team. We’ve been talking all year long about how we need more 3&D players and meanwhile Max Christie has been sitting on the bench collecting dust.
Over played Reddish? You mean TAUREAN PRINCE??? that was the most egregious of all!
@ManicSV3
Him as well, but at least Prince is a good shooter who put points on the board. Cam, Dinwiddie and Vincent all shot horribly and contributed next to nothing on offense.
@ManicSV3
Taurean Prince: 9 ppg on 40% from 3 and 44% overall in 27 mpg
Cam Reddish: 5 ppg on 34% from 3 and 39% overall in 20 mpg
Spencer Dinwiddie: 7 ppg on 39% from 3 and 40% overall in 24 mpg
Gabe Vincent: 3 ppg on 11% from 3 (LOL) and 31% overall (LOL) in 20 mpg
So which are the worst players who received too much playing time out of those 4? Reddish and Vincent by far - they were terrible and shouldn't have received any playing time at all except in garbage time. Prince played well off the bench, but never should've been a starter and should've gotten 15 to 20 mpg instead of 27.
Dinwiddie was passable - at least he could get to the basket and pass pretty well and also shot well from 3.
Max Christie? Thats who was gonna save these Lakers?? smh
He put himself in that position costing Lakers games all season long
Coach can be relieved now,in my opinion!
none of them watched even half of he Lakers games but its funny how confidently they talk about it
Michael Wilbon said something about how “it’s not fair that coaches get blamed, what about these players making $50 million”. There’s only 2 guys on this team he could be talking about, LeBron or AD, and they both played great this year. They even played well in the playoffs, so for Wilbon to say something like that, it’s like not only did you not watch them in the regular season, but did you even watch the playoff games? Because AD basically just played Jokic to a draw.
You and I could have sat on the bench with Ham every game and the Lakers were still not capable of beating any of the top 3 teams in the West
@@I.am_Groot that doesn’t change the fact that Ham is not a good coach or the right fit for this team, both things can be true
@@erikdayne5429 "Because AD basically just played Jokic to a draw." 🙄🤣
People who make statements like this probably just look at stat lines. 😑AD didn't do in 2nd halves of games 1-3. He had pretty much no impact on the ends of games. 😆 Only game he went off was game 4...then game 5...brittle af AD showed up. 🙄😜
From 1 rookie coach to another 1 is ABSOLUTELY CRAZY 😜
Except Steve Kerr.
Reddick isnt my first choice, but at least he seems intelligent, unlike Dopey Darvin
lol
No @@Nostalgia9478
Insane
Steve kerr? u can literally put any coach on that team before and they are still winning not right now tho because they washed
Good Lord please do not hire JJ, let us not forget Nash as an HC!
Not saying hire JJ but would be a better coach than Nash
@@earlbarnes6507 No way to know that, but ok. Hope we do not find out.
The hate for Bron is like something I never seen before
Sickening..Goes to show how many casual fans don't know nothing about basketball
Lebron has no decorum in his being! That's the reason,which is richly deserved!!
It's amazing, isn't it? The knives came out to protect Ham of all people.
@@stevenwerezak4532 Lebron's got issues as a person. But that hasn't nothing to do with a coach that was actively losing games for his team.
I would hire Mark Jackson before Reddick.
I would hire an assistant coach before hiring Redick.
If I'm LeBron I would be effing pissed with the front office. Dude did not fire anyone. Darvin made the choice to play 3 guards against the biggest team in Denver . Gtfoh
What two way players do they have on the roster? If you have defense and no offense and they lose then the excuse is "Lebron had no help!" you get your guards for offense and you're undersized and it's "Why would you play 3 guards!!?" Lol literally a lose lose situation.
@@Maxrepfitgm wtf do you draft a Max Christie who I feel has tremendous upside and play those scrubs Reeves and DLO as your back court
@@brianjackson8668and why tf are people not talking about Darvin ham not using vando game 5 when he was available these kids should do some research and not using timeouts 😂😂😂😂😂
@@zayankanani9573facts
@boredsilver95 Coach Ham, for most of the year, seemed to be doing all he could to avoid building on any continuity from last year. He literally spent most of season not playing any lineup from last year, whether starting the game or even during the course of the games. He insisted instead on playing Prince or Hayes or Wood ahead of Rui for months.
Mark Jackson
I would rather have Mark Jackson maybe JJ Redick as a assistant coach 😂
I liked this dude until this. LeBron and AD were definitely the issue!!! You had a brand new coach (2nd year) that, like players has to learn through trial and error. After year three and LeBron gone he probably would have done better with decisions and skills set including rotations. You have to learn the team and the team has to be healthy to keep a rotation!!! The firing was forced by AD and LeBron…period!!! Also, I bet if you questioned the team about who was at fault and the main instigators you would hear them say AD/LBJ!
@@erikbarnes9991Yeah that might be true but I have seen almost all the Lakers games this year and Ham never kept a set rotation and gave players inconsistent minutes, in the beginning of the year Rui should of been starting and he wasn’t and when he did play him he would play him 15 minutes one night and 30 minutes the next night no consistency, also some of the lineups he used was just terrible, one time he had Vanderbilt and Reddish start both are non offensive threats, you can’t play both players at the same time and the way he failed to use timeouts was bad, when a team scores 15 points in a row and you don’t call timeout that’s a problem 😂
Trevor you dedicated shows to blaming DLO for the Lakers poor performances against the Nuggets….WHILE WEARING YOUR LeBRON T-SHIRT. So let’s talk about biases‼🧐
Well to be fair Lebron had a great series against Denver and dlo had a terrible series. as usual.
You might need to watch the defensive side of the ball as well...
@@aaronrobertshaw8423 Dlo can't be scoring 0 point in a crucial game bro.
@@jerryren4076You totally missed the point.
@@aaronrobertshaw8423 you mean watch the video's of LeBron getting lost on Aaron Gordon's backdoor screens or LeBron not boxing Gordon out for critical rebounds?
They did right by letting him go. But they need to fix the Roster too. Make a move
Exactly
💯
Yes, multiple things can be true at the same time.
He just isn't a good coach guys! Prince is friends w ham so he got minutes
For 2 years Darvin ham was a great COACH YOU PEOPLE DONT GIVE PEOPLE A CHANCE
@@dickieleonard2727 ??? Did you watch the same coach I watched? He lost the respect of the locker room almost immediately
No prince was most consistent player who did more than was paid and expected to do especially on defense. Except in November where he got insane minutes and missed every damn shot see? I know i watched every game.😊
@@juicewrld9867 I watched almost every game but I saw it completely different. Either way Ham is cooked and hoping we get a good coach plus LeBron doesn't resign. I promise age will get him this year as well as injury 🩸 u
@@SilverBored20Big facts
Any available coach would love to coach Lakers, they get huge 4 years contract, gets fired after two years and still gets paid 😅
I didnt see this level of outrage when the Bucks fired Adrian Griffin midseason despite having a 30-13 record at the time
Smh
they just hate bron & the lakers nothing new
There definitely was, and even now after their playoff exit there’s more scrutiny. You must not be paying attention, disregard ESPN
thats what im saying. its bs
@@SP-ie6nqNowhere near this level, not even close Bro
@@Nostalgia9478 Well, you also don't see the same level of coverage with similarly garbage teams as we do with the Lakers so is that hate? So the spotlight is fine when it's all positive, but when it's not rainbow and unicorns it's hate?
Since LBJ and JJ started a podcast, media, big or small, are getting nervous that their nonsense talking might lose their market. They are getting together targeting LBJ, producing news that they produced, and putting words into Lebron's mouth.
It’s wild .. what more could AD and LJ do vs the Nuggets.. the roster was limited and the coach was not great .. to me the bulk of the blame goes on the front office and the coach. Because the lakers lacked the right personnel, it was up to the coach to skeem and turn water into wine ..it became pritty clear that Ham was not capable of out coaching other coaches .. so he had to be fired.. I dont know why nobody mentions Polinaka’s name .. he knew he had to being in a 7 footer with girth that could stay with the Joker .. we played the nuggets AGAIN without adequate personnel .. that’s the front office’s fault .. it’s also their fault that they did not hire T Lue a couple years ago ..
@@saldoug7467 "It’s wild .. what more could AD and LJ do vs the Nuggets.. .." 😂
That's what happens when trash Lakers pin their hopes on an aging Queen & a player who is brittle af. 😑The aging Queen played no D & constantly allowed A Gordon to get easy buckets on him...plus he was gassed af by mid 3rd quarter to have any impact late in games. 🙄
AD only seemed to have good 1st halves in games 1-3 & was a no show for 2nd halves of those games. 😑Then his brittleness showed up at start of 3rd quarter in game 5 & that was the end of trash Lakers season. 😜
It's comical how you trash Lakers fans use the aging Queen's age as an excuse when he loses...but as some beacon of miracles when he wins. 🙄Can't have it both ways. 🤣
Good Rebuttal Trevor! Excellently communicated and should be absorbed for those who think Ham was blameless.
Great video Trevor, thanks for making it. The media is assuming that this is just another coach getting prematurely blamed for the team’s failures, but they are ignoring the blatantly obvious problems with Ham’s coaching.
Y’all weren’t saying this in the in season tournament 😂
@@mike_3613I was saying this before the season, all of last year when the Westbrook distraction was removed
@@YusufRawlinson that’s cause everyone said we won the off season smh
Stephen A Smith is gonna be like are you serious JJ Reddick over Mark Jackson really!
Lakers front office never has a plan. I get it if some great coach was out there. They will just take a journeyman coach who will be no better than Darvin. As a laker fan right now the lakers management are embarrassing. We are becoming a joke as a franchise.
You can't have a plan if LeBron doesn't want the plan
We been a joke since we made that Westbrook trade 3 years ago
@@shawncross5019ultimately that is still front managements fault. No one forcing them to listen to Lebron or sign him.
I just want to WIN. What ever it takes
Why not try try to bring in Coach K out of retirement 🤔 ? Or even Mark Jackson or even Avery Johnson.
Hiring JJ is perfect. This way, LBJ can effectively be the "real coach." I we are going to act stupid, let's go all in.
TBH...this is what we need. LBJ knows more than any Coach out there, so let him be the Shadow Coach.
Thank you very much Trevor! I literally was saying the same thing after I watched these other NBA analysts takes on the firing of Ham. You and Jason hit it right on the nail. Good job keep up the good work!
Saying the coach wasn't good is not the same as blaming the entire season on the coach. The media seem to equate the two
These are the same dudes that fall asleepd during games and wake up when the cameras are one
The real problem of lakers is pelinka and not the coach. Blamming Frank Vogel before and now Darvin Ham is the only scape goat made by lakers management.
For me, lakers fans should blame pelinka for his brainless sign and trade he made from 2021 to 2024. 😂😂😂😂 From championship contender in 2020, to bust...
The Lakers should go after David Adelman, Micah Nori, Kenny Atkinson, Chris Quinn, Sean Sweeney, etc. before offering it to JJ Redick. Lakers need a guy who has experience of being a head coach or an assistant coach in the NBA.
We tried that. It’s still LA. I don’t think it’s the experience at this point. It’s can you work in LA. Not everyone can
@@sergioandrade8874 The Lakers need a head coach with experience of coaching in the NBA. Micah Nori, David Adelman, etc will probably be better fits for the Lakers than Redick who has never coached in the NBA.
@@erikkdane8485 Lakers also need shooters and playmakers. Somehow we sign them and they all of a sudden forget how to shoot and make plays. My point is LA is far more than an experience environment. You can have all the experience in the world In a small town like Milwaukee and it means absolutely nothing in LA. As far as i’m concerned if you are experienced and on the market it means you failed in your previous market. What makes me think you will be any different in LA??
Mike Brown, Mike Dantoni, shoot Luke Walton had experience. How did that work out?
trevor loves lebron more then his own family.
I did not hear a single talking head say things like the following: "Ham struggled to find any consistency with his lineup... He does not know how to use time outs or challenges... Players would literally have to change the tactics themselves because Ham did not understand what was working... The players don't feel like there is a true plan for both their offensive setup and their defensive tactics..." Nothing. Not a word about those things.
The lineup struggled to play good defense and figure out who outside of 'Bron and AD were going to get buckets when the opponent did play good D
They didn't mention it because he took a worse roster further than Kerr, Mike Brown, and Ty Lue over the last 2 years.
They should have hired Jason Kidd from jump.🤔
FACTS!!!!!
They right when will Bron take responsibility? When
Meanwhile, Bucks fire their 1st year Head Coach despite having the 2nd Best record in the East & now everyone is educated and can look at their Defensive struggles & even talked about him losing the locker room. lol
Sounds a whole lot like someone too.
That move was bad too lol. This whole "losing the locker room" stuff is bs and Giannis was weak for that. Good to see the Bucks and the Lakers gone in the first round as a result.
Lebron & AD do need to be held accountable, everything wasn’t Darvin Ham fault
Yeah you don't watch the games at all Anthony Davis and LeBron James both dominated throughout the plan and the first round What did they teammates do?
He’s the scapegoat for your season. Media is correct.
Every year, always a scapegoat.

Agreed , first it was vogel, then Russ , then Dlo then Rui now ham …. If lakers win ad & bron get the praise , but when they lose it’s never their fault . Bron missed a wide open 3 to win a game & joker averaged 30 point triple double on AD … he ain’t doing that on the t wolves ….. ad & bron need to look in the mirror

Can’t put all the blame on darvin
In the words of Kendrick Lamar "they not like us " 😂😂

Forget whose coach coming, when your managers can not get the right players.
LeBron pick these players salary capped out again
Yeah, i been replying to comments blaming LBJ and I'm not even a LBJ fanboy!
I really want the laker to keep lebron (gordon will keep on putting 29 points on him)…
@@lixondarvish7334 ok - Gordon had a good series...But you celebrating to early and have won.
People who want Budenholzer to replace Ham obviously don't remember why he was fired from the Bucks... Failing to call timeouts, getting called out by the team's star player... Sound familiar?
BTW Bob Meyer the former Golden state GM may be available. Maybe it's time to clean
house, new coach, new GM.
I always thought that Jeannie should hire a competent GM and let him run the team': drafts and picking an NBA calibre head coach.
Hiring JJ would basically be exactly the same as the Yankees hiring Aaron Boone
Would love to see Micah Nori as the next head coach.
I swear channels and fans like this is why players won’t ever be accountable Ham was ass as a coach but this team seriously underperformed with all the success they had after last years trade deadline and the good moves they made during the offseason everyone I feel didn’t meet expectations that they set for themselves after last year’s run also before anyone say it’s cause of ham they underperformed it’s bron and ad fault he’s there they wanted Westbrook when everyone but them knew it wasn’t going to work so frank got scapegoated in comes Ham now he’s being scapegoated as well gotta hold these dudes accountable Shannon and Ochoa nailed this topic today on night cap
Dude I 100% agree with this take. the national media is wrong and irritating to listen to.
This is getting out of control man, how the hell they want to bring a coach with no experience to coach this damn team man?
Cause nobody wants to coach this team
I have literally never agreed more with a coach being fired. The only comparable firings were maybe when the Nets fired Steve Nash or when the Clippers fired Doc after the blown 3-1 lead. Nothing against Darvin Ham and I hope he gets another chance. Maybe with the Wizards or the Hornets where the pressure and expectations would be completely different. He just was not a good coach for the Lakers. Basic things that he failed to do. At the end of the day, nobody really listened to him so even if he was a good coach, it doesn't matter.
Every team LBJ played for, the coaches job was always in jeopardy. Even coach Spo. Not hating on Lakers fans but he has a lot to do with who gets fired and who gets hired. Every team he's played for, the coaches heads was either on or considered to be on the chopping block. Don't have to be in media to know this.
No one wants to talk about that. Lebron even had issues with Lue at one point. He has issues any time he is not given control of the team.
@@jamesjones6315lebron was the reason ty lue was hired to begin with and he got sacked after lebron left also ty lue still a klutch sports client tills this day and him and lebron always together in the off season

I realized this season that a lot of the media personalities don’t actually watch the games.
That's pretty obvious. They get paid to work on the actual production of the show. Not spend 20 hours a week outside of their 50 hour job to watch sports for 9 months of the year.
I hope the Lakers come back and kick ass and win a chip #18! The statement that Ham called the Lakers fans Bron sexuals was really low!
Mark Jackson if we want to be 💯 he should get another shot at a HC job in the NBA
Mark jackson has been black balled for no good reason and should be brought before any rookie head coach.

Thanks
Lbj is the problem not A. D
Both of them played up to par. A.D. even exceeded expectations. But how is Bron dropping 30-11-9 in elimination the problem?
If JJ Redick is the Lakers new coach you can truly say Lebron is running this team
I have said this before on social media, way back I didn’t see a smooth rhythm in the playing style of our Laker team. Two players playing while the rest on the players on the floor stood by watching.🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️. The last trade date line nothing happen 🤷🏽♂️ you are right lots of WTF happening 🤬 we had a chance to do at least one more
Improvement on our roster .
Bron n AD are greats and they have done the best against the league. Rob Pelinka your days are numbered also. Remember this again “CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM”. ❤️my LAKERS🏆🫵🏽👍🏽
Stay away from Reddick. Jeanie has to hire a professional front office.
As you pointed out the media is basically focusing all in on blaming Lebron and AD and mostly blaming Lebron and saying he got another coach fired.
When the reality of the situation is Ham had horrendous timeout management, horrendous rotations , lack of calling offensive plays when we needed him to, inability to make in game adjustments, etc. All those = any coach in the league getting fired on a team that's trying to win a championship. It's absurd and absolutely RIDICULOUS what the media is trying to do but it's what they always do. Try to create drama. Apparently AD's comment of saying there's times we don't know what we're doing out there = a coach that shouldn't get fired.
Lakers and the next coaching staff need to use this as fuel and get off to a hot start next season and have a good season so this way they will see how absurd there takes were.
Also as others have pointed out the reality of the situation is the media and anyone that's saying this type or nonsense does NOT watch the Lakers games. They only watch clips and pr the games nationally broadcasted / playoff games. They watch a few playoff games and a handful of regular season games and think they know all that.
Yeah it’s easy to create negative narratives around a LeBron team when something like this happens, it’s been like that his whole career.
In season tournament 😂
This would so stupid
What coach will 1. instill rebounding as a priority 2. value each offensive possession instead of jacking up early 3s 3. make common sense in game adjustments?
JJ Reddick would be a crazy hire. NO EXPERIENCE, not even as an Assistant. Darvin didn't work out as a long time Asst, so now the Lakers bright idea, hire someone with no head coaching or Asst cosching experience. Fire Pelinka too.
So, is Bron going to still do the podcast with JJ? 😢
Media is correct, front office needs to be replaced. Blowing up a championship team was a mistake.
This roster was not good.
Hiring JJ will be a mistake, a huge mistake.
They are right. Changing coaches will do nothing for your perimeter defense due to slow footed guards, rebounding due to no big man depth, and lack of 3 point shooting. The GM should have been fired. How many coaches have to be fired before the gm goes. Trevor your lack of basketball knowledge is embarrassing.
I'm telling you people
When you factor in what the Lakers would have to give up to get another star versus What they would have to give up to get what they need most-true big/rebounder
There literally is not five players in the entire league that would help this team more
It is the most obvious and easiest fix for any team in all a professional sports in my entire lifetime
Reddick as an assistant coach perhaps, but as a HC, not an option. Also for they should consider Rondo as an assistant as well.
Those media hating Lebron and AD for this perhaps the same people who doesn't bat an eye on guys like Monty Williams who had a longest losing streak with the Pistons this season as well as critizing the Bucks front office for hiring Doc Rivers midway and getting eliminated in the 1st round.
It's really up to the new coach to decide whom to hire as assistants. No legitimate HC would let a FO dictate to him regarding his staff.
The day Ham was hired I already knew it wasn’t going to last long and I’m not joking. why? Because he’s a rookie coach! WHY WOULD WE HIRE A ROOKIE COACH WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO WIN NOW! It was a stupid move to begin with.
They fired Vogel and he won a championship. Being a rookie HC has nothing to do with it. The players didn't live up to their expectations on plenty of occasions because they already knew DH was gonna take all the blame regardless.
Darvin needed to be fired. He was terrible. Period.
One way to look at things: the Lakers HAVE to hire a rookie, because no established coach in his right mind would take the job. OTH: sign a guaranteed 5+ yr contract, 1st yr get a free pass, 2nd yr get fired, sit on 3 free years.
This man had Pat Bev starting at SHOOTING GUARD. Enough said.
🏀💜💛 Lakers, 2025 World Champions! 💛💜🏀
No rookie coaches!
It’s utterly ridiculous at this point
They're Right LBJ & AD Should Be The Ones Deciding on Rotations / In Game Adjustments and Calling Time Outs ... Ham Was Just a Bi-stander
Let’s see how much better the lakers are without Darvin. Karma is real and unfortunately as a laker fan I think we are due for our dose.
JJ Redick- another experimental coach. Come on Jeanie!!
This lakers coaching job is basically only a 2-3 year run if you don’t win. You gotta deliver and deliver quickly a championship run. Is it fair given the assembled roster? No, but when you have LBJ, that clock is ticking. Changing coaches won’t matter if this roster stays the same. Roster needs to be retooled just to compete with the top seeds.
3 years? Lucky to make 6-8 months
LeBron will:
Get coaches fired
Trade away all young talent
Cap space hell
Will leave Lakers with no draft picks and aging all stars
It's only the clowns on ESPN
No it's not lol. It's people on Fox and anyone who is objective. The only people happy are Lakers fans because they think they've done something. You'll be firing this new coach in 3 years too.
You would think BARKLEY, PERKINS, and WILBON would know by now "LAKERS WILL NEVER SETTLE FOR BEING MEDIOCRE"
Standing ovation Trevor 👏👏👏 package that and post it everywhere. Great take on the firing of Ham
national media are some of the biggest casuals ever
