At least we no longer pay for this man
The interesting part of this to me: Doc was reportedly after Sam Cassell really hard who had an interview with us and has been named as an assistant target as well.
Bro these guys are gonna make Giannis want out of Milwaukee, yikes
ohâŠanyways
Jesus christ do I feel for the Bucks fans. First they gotta deal with Doc, now Darvin too?
Ngl. I saw â[Woj] Darvin Ham is joining theâ and almost had a heart attack.
this isn’t the coaching news I wanted

we don’t care
Bucks players liked Darvin Ham a lot. He wasnât ready for a head coach job but he seemed solid as a player-focused assistant coachÂ
This was not the Woj bomb I turned my Twitter notifications on for
Wrong bomb Woj đ
I turned alerts on for Woj tweets the other day and getting a notification from Woj that began with âDarvin HamâŠâ almost killed me
D.H. is finalizing deal to take a major coaching position!
LOL highly sought after? They must mean as an assistant. And thatâs exactly what he should be until he learns how to run a tean

Frees up a couple million for the Hurley train lol
Solid for an assistant coach. He just wasnât ready for head coaching, especially for the lakers.Â
There is no reason to think he is a bad assistant coach. Yeah, it’s clear he wasn’t ready to be a HC, especially the situation he was given. But he did coach the Lakers to their second best season in the last decade. Don’t need to be salty about him at this point.
Dudeâs game plans were elite sad that he couldnât get players to buy inâŠ
Should’ve never left. đ
GOOD LUCK DARVIN. WE WONT MISS YOU BRUH
This man ruined a great AD/LBJ season. I will never forgive him.
Assistant Motivator
Helluva team
Lol
The coaching duo of “Doc Pockets” is going to be hilarious
Helleva ball club over there
helluva ballclub!
More natural fit.
Heâs a good assistant coach
I have a feeling he’s still a great assistant, as it seems he works well with players, but he’s not at all an x’s and o’s guy
Highly sought after?

Good for him. That’s the type of role he’s better suited for.
Good for him. Hope he does well and grows into being a better coach.

Doc & Ham what a duo
Got his bag and returned home to where he was loved and respected. I respect it
Assistant coach seems like a really good role for him. The Bucks players absolutely love him, especially Giannis. All we can hope is they take the C’s 7 games every playoffs, though Glenn is still gonna Glenn.
Honestly good for him. He’s fine/good as an assistant.
Watch Giannis request a trade soon
Doc and Ham together. Helluva duo.
Ham Rivers is a perfect duo for The Milwaukee (Passing the) Bucks
Good for him. Terrible hc but he wonât have much pressure on him as a AC
Before you make jokes remember ham was liked and respected by a lot of player before coming to the lakers
ham’s a good assistant coach, he just doesnt have what it takes to be a head coach
