Head Coach Discussion: Canned Ham, Who Is Our New Coach?

“You guys saw DLO stinking it up out there. I can’t put the ball in the hoop for him. Nuggets have scrubs hitting threes and my starting point guard can’t hit a lay up. Nothing I can do guys. Sorry.” - Darvin Ham.

 

Rambis > b0ron/magic > ham...

 

Silver lining, if we get swept again this year, Ham is definitely getting fired. We can cheer for that.

Where are all those people saying they want to give Ham another year....

 

I really disliked Pringles when he was here.
I dislike Hambone 1,000 times more.

 

Terrible owners that's why. These Busses don't care that much about winning and spending money to do so. They just want to make money!

We got lucky to get LeBron and then get AD.

 

Handy has:
-Bron
-Rui
-Vando
-Austin

That's nearly $80m of the $168m.

If you're looking at next year's numbers: it's $92m of 178.7m

And AD does not like Ham. That was crystallized this week. If you include him in the mutiny: $120.6m of $168m this year and $135m of $178.7m next year.

What are we doing?

Fire this imposter tonight.

 

You forgot to add Stan Van Gundy.
He’s totally available.

 

Meh..You don't know wtf, you be talking about carper. Porter Jr avg 17pts a game, that's your idea of going off? FOH

Yeah..again, I'd much rather see him shooting 20 plus attempts, than Jokic or Murray, all day.

Lol..your lame butt, couldn't wait to run back with this yap.

True definition of a Carper.

 

Don't bet on that.

 

Well, one former Laker I could get behind is Rondo, but he needs some seasoning as an assistant coach first.

 

I just don't get why he plays Dlo, Gabe, and Spencer together... against this team especially. Him and Pelinka are just obsessed with guards man.

 

Because he’s really, really dumb at coaching.
Really dumb.
Dumbo.

 

I hear you guys who say the FO is a buncha dumbeffs and that Ham will still be here next year.

I actually think he will be fired. But I'm totally with the prediction of hiring someone else uninspiring, an ex-Laker, someone who's lost as HC for 2-3 other NBA teams and has never won one. A proven non-winner. I have NO CONFIDENCE in the FO at this point. Which is a dark place to be as a Laker fan, but hey: it's only my opinion.

 

What's concerning is the FO knows this is a blind spot of his and A) gives him such tools. B) doesn't have Rambis come down from his tower, like he did with Vogel, and give him clear directions.

Larsuel said one of his convos with Rob when they were on the verge of signing him was concern with Ham's potential lineups. Rob acknowledged the concern and proceeded.

I'm fine with the signing. I think Spencer has been fantastic. Has shown the willingness to commit to team ball and do the dirty work. I'd love to have him back. But where we f***ed up was allowing Gabe back when he's clearly not ready and that thew a wrench in everything and we knew what Ham would do if he was at his disposal.

 

We had a nice 3 man guard rotation of DLo, AR, Spencer that was starting to round into form. Once Gabe came back, I think we all knew Ham would lean hard into 3 guard lineups.

 

about to coach his last game.

lebron will make sure of it in more than one way.

 

I wouldn't bet on that, but D'Angelo is definitely out.

Ham made it pretty clear, that he didn't want him back, in the first place, if anyone was paying attention. Lebron too.

 

you can't hire inexperienced non-name coaches with lebron, imo. hell, he tried to get spoelstra--the new popovich--fired. we can't scour the league for up and coming dark horse coaching talent even if we wanted to. not until lebron's gone.

i'm in favor of just elevating handy and maybe seeing if he'd add rondo as an assistant. is this going to be an x's and o's upgrade? probably not. but they're respected by lebron and might have a good sense of when to challenge him and when to stay out of his way. ham definitely didn't figure that out, imo.
