Ham needs to be fired. There is no way he can stay on another season.

Walk over to the Laker bench and ask Ham to take LeBron out of the game. He seems disinterested in this game.

D’Lo’s defense is atrocious. And he’s turning the ball over. What has become abundantly clear to me this year is that while I really like both AR and DLo they cannot coexist in the same backcourt together moving forward. It is too much offense too little defense. One needs to go and for a guy like…. Alex Caruso! Non ball dominant, elite passing, elite 3p shooting, top flight >switching< defender. Only a handful of players in the entire league for this bill and most aren’t available for any price. Because it’s epically stupid to let one go for nothing. I do think Vando puts a different spin on the floor lineup that could work with AR and DLo together but his reliable Im afraid is sketchy at best. I don’t want to call him Street Clothes yet but he looks to be to be physically vulnerable. If another wing defender can be added in the summer (fat chance) it could plug the hole but I think the more likely scenario is moving one of the 2 guards for someone who can fit the mold better.

The teams who are ready to compete in the playoffs are surging right now. We are on the opposite trajectory because Ham is a mediocre rah rah rah guy who was way in over his head from the start.

Yeah you could be right. I still don’t know what injury exactly does Vando have? I mean damn it didn’t look that bad when he got hurt. What’s the problem?

Yeah you’re probably right on this. What injury exactly does Vando have? I mean damn he’s been out for months for something I didn’t think was that bad. **Sorry accidental repeat post

Sprain of the foot ligament at the bottom of the foot. Should have been back by now if he was going to heal for this year’s competition. I’m spitballing but I’d slate him as a late 1st round / 2nd round return schedule. Right when we’ll be in Cabo.

I agree but another part of me can't get the thought of "blow it all up" out of my head If LeBron opts out and leaves then yes absolutely. AD trade request would follow Im sure. But I don’t think that’s happening. Jeanie and Rob admitting defeat and waving a white flag on their rebuild would look embarrassing to fans to have taken 2 generational talents and failed to put the pieces around them to at least be among the last few teams every year. First round loss, miss playoffs, WCF sweep and possible missing playoffs again with a healthy Lebron and AD would be epical failure. Hire a god damn elite coach and don’t base that potential on “likability.” Udoka seems like a MF of a person and he’s who I’d have wanted.

Right now I'd say Spo, Pop, Kerr, maybe Udoka. maybe the better question is... is there an elite coach available? I personally want the next coach to be kind of an asshole. an actual coach that will say whatever needs to be said to any player, no matter who it is

Can probably rule out Udoka after his altercation with Lebron and calling him a crying bitch or whatever. I'm not certain but just a hunch.
