[Darvin Ham] “We need to step up and play better. We can’t go out and get people, we are already a repeat tax offender. We can’t spend money to build a team. We already have three big-time, first-ballot future Hall of Famers that a chuck of our budget is spent on and there’s only so much left.”

It’s a damn shame Jeanie and Rob don’t have to answer questions like Ham and the players
“Jeanie is cheap even tho it’s a big market franchise. Bron AD and Russ should be able to carry 10 g league quality players to a chip”
The comments there are pathetic. r/NBA is a cesspit of dimwitted laker haters. Some of them are talking down on the Lakers and their team hasn’t made the playoffs in a decade. Pathetic.
We shouldn’t read to much into these statements…it could very well be Ham calling out Lebron and Davis etc for not trying as hard as he thinks they should be…we also don’t know if Lebron ain’t slacking to try and force a trade of Westbrook…we just don’t know so we shouldn’t be speculating as hard as we are.
There is the answer right there, why we haven’t made any trades that bring back players who have contracts more than 1-year long.
The downside of all the fingerpointing at Rob and Jeannie is that some players start to slack off a bit. We all see that there are quarters where everybody is working hard and other quarters where the energy is flat.
Ham is parroting what the Front Office really thinks. They aren’t gonna do anything that costs them money and picks.
I guess Ham got a talking to from rob and jeannie after saying Lebron, AD and Russ needed more help
Yeah we aren’t big spenders like the warriors.. clippers.. etc *sigh*
Ham is the right man for the job but the FO is not the right people for the rebuild.
Honest question. Does Myles and Buddy put us in repeater Tax since Myles expires after the season
Repeater tax?? Thats the concern?
We fired Vogel after he had more success last year with a worse roster, wonder if Ham will make it through the entire season
and yet we extended pelinka lmao
fuck jeanie
