Barring a miraculous championship this season, Ham should absolutely be fired for this incompetence. It took certain player injuries to stop him from destroying the team for a full season

This is a fire-able offense for Darv

That’s really all on Ham. Still not convinced he’s got a hold on what rotations work.

It’s all Hams fault, I’ll be honest I started hating on prince a lil too much, the dude was just being used wrong. Ham just played him way too many minutes and out of position

Rui is just the better player. Not playing the better player and trying to make a bench guy a starter is just malpractice. The TP hate is basically because of Ham

It’s actually insane when you realize we could be above the clippers if we had this starting 5 the whole year. But instead we have to fight back just to get a better spot in the play in

Rui deserves his spot, he showed he’s a consistent 15+ when involved or called to the equation. Honestly he gets better the more he plays or is on the court.

Had someone argue with me that Scams decision to play tp over rui wasn’t the reason the lakers were struggling, it was bc AD and Bron were overrated.

Taurean is just a better fit when he’s coming off the bench. Starter role, no. We signed Rui long term while Taurean is on a one year contract. As soon as Rui was inserted into the starters our season changed.

17m to ride the bench for the first half of the season
What happens when you have a walnut for a coach

Rui is so damn good and it’s a shame he doesn’t get 30 minutes/15 FGA’s per game.

Hopefully these stats are mentioned in his termination packet

Once LeOld retires I see the lakers having a not terrible future

Rui was injured twice for different reasons so I would hope this was a reason for this. Not to say Ham should’ve played him more if he could, who knows what the medical staff said with regards to how many playing minutes he could get right out of recovery.

Interesting stats that I am not refuting but also seems like cherry-picking stats to fit a narrative.

I got laughed at when I said Rui is a stud and would excel in a larger role on another team early in the season. I was told “he’s only a role player and will only ever be a role player.” Being a Lakers fan you have to block out a large portion of our fan base because a lot do not know what they are talking about.

Ever since somebody said, “Ham is using Cam and Prince to prove all NBA players can be stars if used right to say he could have been one too if used right,” I can’t stop thinking that’s his approach everything he does

Can Reddish doesn’t come across as the sharpest tool in the shed but I genuinely think he could do a better job coaching than Ham.
