Laker Players Frustrated With Ham

I didn’t read any direct quotes from any players saying something that gives the headline legitimate backing. It was a lot of projection and inference which is lazy clickbait journalism. The article is framed by stating that “analysts have weighed” and that it is their belief that the players must be frustrated. Fuck this kind of shitty journalism.

I imagine some of the players are frustrated but until someone actually voices their frustration I won’t speculate for them.

Hams new starting lineup has holes but so does every single other combination of players. As much as I like Vando I think he’s the odd man out because his offense is too deficient and Cam Reddish is too inconsistent. For the right balance of offense and defense I’d sub Rui for Vando and let Vando play small ball center when AD goes out.

Had we lost to OKC, sitting on 6 straight losses I’d be right there with you brother. But that win vs OKC was big for me. Thats a great young team and imo a top 4 team in the toughest conference I’ve ever seen.

These 2 full days off should reset the team a bit and get us back on track. If we derail from here then it’s another story. Ham isn’t the coach I wanted but I don’t see a way out. It’s not like there is an unemployed Ty Lue sitting around waiting to be hired.

I know we're stuck with Ham.

I'm just telling it like it is though.  He's the biggest problem and until that gets fixed, be prepared to see more of what we're seeing.

If Ham is ever fired this season (he won't be imo) they won't hire another coach until the offseason at earliest. They'd probably just let Phil Handy get his shot. He wants the job.
