The Los Angeles Lakers 2023-2024 NBA season

[DJ]

Rondo is too old and should retire. We don't need another old player. The Lakers should best wait for the draft and the trades proposed all suck because the Lakers have to give-up a ton to get marginal players.

Um....he is?

Talking about him being interviewed as the next HC, bud.

 

[Retroram52]

He would get blasted either way. If he was shaking hands and embracing opponents after a huge loss that ends the season, he would be criticized for not having the killer instinct. People with agendas will criticize anything.

Does that include you Shopson? What is your agenda?!

Well, dude. As a player he is 38, a year or two younger than James. Why would we sign a play like Rondo who will be done in a year or two? As HC, he might work but doesn't James want Reddick? Phil Handy should be the next guy up.

My agenda is keeping the (arguable) GOAT in LA until he decides otherwise.

Maybe Handy gets a shot, who knows. I would ideally see Rondo as an assistant first anyway (Redick too).

The part you are missing is nobody said sign him as a player.

And have not seen James wanting Redick as coach.....

More on the Ham pending firing.

Buha: Lakers’ plan is to fire Darvin Ham, possibly by the end of this week

It looks like it's just a matter of time before the Lakers fire head coach Darvin Ham.

And this. Only Handy makes sense.

7 Lakers head coach candidates to replace Darvin Ham

The Los Angeles Lakers are likely to fire head coach Darvin Ham after a disappointing second season, but who can they get to replace him?

Speculated, since they have a podcast together.

...and he's already interviewed with the Hornets

 

[Retroram52]

Yes, I know. This leaves Phil Handy in the best position to be interviewed once Ham has been officially removed.

 

[DJ]

...and he's already interviewed with the Hornets

Yep.

That is probably a better first job for him anyway.

 

[DJ]

Yes, I know. This leaves Phil Handy in the best position to be interviewed once Ham has been officially removed.

Lue is the best choice if we can get him. He already coached him and Bron respects him.

And in the post Bron era he can have AD & build around him.

 

[Retroram52]

I don't know about Lue, MJ. I know he manages these prima donnas pretty well but I don't think that Lue and James would get along.

 

[DJ]

He was fired!!!!!

 

[DJ]

took of mon, tue and thur.

But today? high as fuck.

It was going that direction all season long with fans bitching-up a storm about Ham's rotations, his game-time adjustments that were bizarre, his apparent disconnect on many occasions seemingly not knowing what timeouts are used for and how to effectively use them, and other ridiculous bullshit Ham seemingly had a penchant for while coaching! Same problem with McShitferBrains and the Rams.

The players were pushing back against him too. As recent as game 5, Reaves kept looking at him waiting to get back into the game. Take 5 minutes away from Dinwiddie and give it to Reaves and maybe game 5 ends differently. Also, maybe use Christie to chase players off ball instead of Rui. Doesn't matter now, on to the next staff...

Fuck.

Everything.
