[@LilMarv]

“If you just wanted to make the playoffs you could have kept Darvin ham “ that made so much sense

[@princellasmith7562]

Facts

[@jada8047]

Lakers don't need a coach, they need a PF that can help AD at rebounds an 2 shooters

[@mattwhitely1067]

Yes that cant be the goal and Ham sucked as a coach but even a good coach is 3 or 4 wins better maybe . So they still might be 5th or 6th seed

[@ednii-armah5895]

Anything is better than Darvin Ham.

[@gloryroad7452]

Did you see Ham struggling to make plays up mf wasn’t even in the huddles with him he lost the locker room nobody respects him so no they should have gotten rid of him

[@jmg5980]

Haslem is doing great, we need more guys like that🔥

[@Sureastomorrow]

Gross

[@kurtrogers9658]

Perk nailed it at the end! THEIR expectations are Finals appearance at least but the realistic expectations are 2nd round playoffs (maybe). This is why I kinda feel bad for JJ; he's inheriting a unrealistic scenario with a team already behind the 8 ball. I think he could be good if given the right runway but I doubt he gets it.
