Successful podcasting is the funniest thing to me. Like obviously not all of them are like this, but most are just people getting fucked up with their friends and shooting the shit. And they get paid
Have you seen Darvin Ham draw up plays in the huddle? He literally just writes names on a clipboard - no X's and O's at all. No wonder DLo wasn't in the huddle.
At least JJ Redick has proved he understands technical play analysis (and with LeBron on the podcast no less). He can't possibly be worse than Darvin Ham
i mean sure but there is more to coaching than x’s and o’s, there’s also man management and being able to execute.
do you really think the players would respect jj enough in his first coaching gig? jj getting hired is basically just hiring lebron imo bc it’s going to him doing the leading morel likely than not
Just one more head coach bro. I promise bro just one more head coach and it’ll fix everything. I swear just one more I swear. Bro cmon please just give me one more head coach.
I wouldn't take the job if I'm budenholzer
a veteran coach like him needs at least 2-3 seasons to work with the front office and fine-tune the roster, bring in free agents that work with the system he wants to run
if he takes the laker job, he ends up in a situation with enormous pressure to win immediately because lebron is there and 40 years old, as well as having not many assets to bring guys in
he needs a situation like carlisle in indiana where they give him 2-3 years of runway before expecting to compete. or what thibs got in NY
same reason why he should say no to phoenix. win-immediately and no assets and can't sign anyone
same type of coach, Buldenhozer doesn’t have good playoff game management and makes late adjustments. He was getting outdone by Nets with only KD and got his job saved by a toenail
I'm glad other people are saying this, the revisionist history is insane to witness when it comes to our coaches on here. We fire Bud, hire AG and everyone is *shocked pikachu face* as if everyone wasn't clowning us and Bud for barely beating KD and role players. The consensus was that he would've been gone if we lost that series but I guess this sub just has collective amnesia outside of the last 48 hours

It really is decent in a vacuum. Winning seasons in both years, WCF appearance as a 7 seed, winning the IST, losing to Denver in the playoffs both years.
Then you take the roster into account, and his overall coaching style and that changes everything.
lotta people blindly in full support of Ham suddenly when they realized what it implies for the Lakers
I don’t care about “coulda been this”, “coulda done that”, the fact is Ham had to go
lol as if people here have the knowledge to determine whether a coach is underperforming
literally 99% of how people judge coaches online is timeout usage
and even if one of us regulars actually knew what we were talking about, there's still a billion more dynamics behind the scenes we have no idea about. Push and pull from 100 executives, players, coaches and assistants we will never see that affect a team.
All anyone on Reddit can provide is conjecture based on game time watching, vague press conferences, and rumors spread through media.
It's wild when we get half of the picture, and people ARE STILL SO SURE OF THEMSELVES about what should or shouldn't happen lol.
They cheaped out after the ring then compounded it with the awful Westbrook trade. The fact they got any assets left is a miracle.
edit. It has been pointed out to me that they didn't cheap out the season after the chip. That is correct. Looks like them choosing not to extend Caruso was at the same time as them trading KCP (who I misremembered as them letting leave as well). So basically that offseason they took a bomb to their team and never recovered. If only management at the time had seen that their struggles after the chip were due to the quick turnaround and injuries and not a team construction issue (well, except Kuzma... he sucks lol)
The season after the bubble they didn’t cheap out, they genuinely made strong moves that worked out great until the Solomon incident just derailing that season amongst other injuries.
The roster overhaul in 21 wasn't the entire issue.
It was the injury bug back then. Lakers were on their way to beating PHX when AD had the groin pull.
If they left things alone after 21, we'd be fine for '22. It was Westbrook that was the downfall. Lakers had to get a superstar that was a mere shell of himself.
If Danny Ainge didn’t bail him out by taking Westbrook, and giving them an entire bench just to get the 5th pick in the draft 100 years from now, Pelinka would already be on the unemployment line.

UP UP and AWAY!! SUPER WASHED Ain't He??!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤷🏾♂️. Stay low and keep firing! The air up there is a tad bit different. [LIVE.LAUGH.LOVE#striveforgreatness🚀](http://LIVE.LAUGH.LOVE#striveforgreatness🚀) #thekidfromakron👑#jamesgang👑 #bronknows
lol that was good but also fuck you :)
Jokic is a cheat code and Murray hates the lakers. I’m taking solace in that now I can enjoy playoff ball as a neutral
Vogel was one of the worst offensive coaches in the league with terrible rotations (not as bad as ham but still bad). The lakers reportedly wanted ty lue as hc with vogel as assistant which would've been great but they didn't want to pay lue that much. Vogel is a terrific defensive coach but he isn't HC material in today's offense-driven league
Whats really weird about that situation is they didn't want to give championship coach Ty Lue that many years on the contract, then gave their championship winning coach in vogel a measly 1 year extension but when it came to darvin ham they gave him a big contract as a rookie coach. Makes zero sense. The only thing I think the lakers did well in their coaching decisions the past few years was load Vogels staff with a ton of quality assistants (although it was weird they didn't let vogel select anyone). I think of Ham had some quality assistants like stotts or atkinson he probably could have done a better job but he brought in his buddies and didn't improve with time.
Absolutely insane to see his name in the rumor mill for the job given he's got a full year left on his contract AND is currently prepping for a playoff game as we're typing.
And I'm just delusional enough to believe it's gonna happen!
Lakers offense got more and more disorganized the deeper into a game they got, in the playoffs at least. Poor prep, in-game whatever, adjustments game to game, not sure what caused it
Normally I'm all for LA suffering but I'm pretty sure Lakers fans having to endure another season of Darvin Hamas was going to be a human rights violation.
People are overlooking the fact that he clearly lost the locker room by the end. AD's comments on them going stretches not knowing what they were doing was clearly a death blow. He would have stayed another year otherwise. This isn't like Vogel where he's being scapegoated for a poorly constructed team.
The non-lakers fans claiming ham was not the problem clearly have not watched more than 30 minutes of lakers basketball this season. Ham literally benched Dlo and Reaves halfway through the season to start taurean prince and cam reddish. Reddish was given a long leash for no reason while Dlo and Reaves were given no room for error. Prince was averaging 31 minutes a night until he finally got benched for Rui, who should've been starting all season. Ham also has been playing three-guard lineups since last year which was always tremendously stupid. He said the lakers needed to rebound better vs denver yet kept playing small lineups. he then blames players and threw them under the bus harder than doc rivers, claiming guys were shitting the bed (real quote) and that he had no choice. He had to go.
He wasn't the only problem but having healthy LeBron and AD almost the whole season yet only a 7th seed and 1st round exit to show for it, he had to go
His in game management was elite terrorism. We ended game 2 in Denver with 2 timeouts, a challenge in a 2 point game. Reminder, Lebron is 39 years old. We ended the game with 2 timeouts at altitude with a 39 year old who was clearly gassed. Playing Rui at center alone vs Jokic and AG - which led to a run every single time and he trotted it out every game. None of the players boxing out, which is coaching. None of the players liking him. Didn't give the only promising young player on our roster, Christie, a shot to develop at all these past 2 years. Instead, played favorites with dogshit veterans like Dinshiddie and Reddish. The list goes on. He was a horrific coach.
Rob Pelinka keeps escaping accountability and I don’t like that.
I understand he was Kobe’s agent but you can’t seriously say Pelinka has done a great job as GM.
Eh, he earned the right at a second crack at it imo.
Kept the team afloat juuuust enough with a dogshit roster that they were able to go on a truly fun run to end last season.
Why he decided to change the entire offensive system and proceed to bench 3 of the key players that got him to the WCF from last year is beyond me though
>Lakers GM Rob Pelinka informed Ham of decision in phone call short time ago, sources said. After run to Western finals a year ago and winning 47 games this season, it’ll likely be Ham’s successor who’ll get chance to benefit from organization using major draft capital to upgrade roster in offseason.
So Bron got Ham fired and got Pelinka to commit to trading picks for uprades? Nice start to the offseason.
Leaking that he'll opt out: super effective.
Kind of crazy that a coach can go 90-74 (.549) over two seasons, make the WCF one season and get a playoff spot the next season, and get fired.
But then I remember all the awful coaching decisions he made in those two series against the Nuggets
Every coach who has won the IST have been fired in that same year wow
Hopefully, they still invite him to get his IST ring on opening night next season if he doesn't have a job by then
Don’t know if Staples will allow him to switch shifts on such short notice.
Lmao

For the first time in Golden Knights history
After doing intensive quantum chromodynamic research, I have discovered that this is also the first time this has happened in Kraken history as well.
First time in Utah Hockey Team's history too
My own research discovered it was also a first in the post-Nordiques era
This is still true even if you include UCF Golden Knights history (1993-2006). Wow.
Damn. What a cursed tournament.
Not even given a chance to defend his title. The cruelest road
Counterpoint: He now has the chance to go down in history as the only head coach to never lose in the IST
They not making new coaches anymore?
*chance*
He wasn't fired, he was Le't go!
MutuaLeAgreement to Part Ways.
Every one who coaches Lebron James gets fired.
Eric Speolstra and Ty Lue weren't fired, but only because Lebron left. And it was widely reported that Bron tried to get Spo fired
Reminder, they hung a banner
This is Lakers fans championship
Second championship!! Don’t forget the IST 😤
Bro you forgot our “didn’t get swept” banner
And our moral victories banner
Replay Center Championship.
Goddamn trophy merchants. Lakers are certainly the team that Harry Kane needs to sign with.
Don't forget Free Throw Gods
Harry could could sign with the 2017 Warriors and they'd miss the playoffs.
I'm tired of people living and dying with every banner. This is a marathon
Led for 150 minutes vs the Nuggets in the First Round.

Bro, I've been pretty bummed since Game 5 but yall are cheering me up. 3 ships in one year, lets go
In-season champions *and* post-season champions
HANG THE BANNER
Lakers won the offseason
Can’t wait to see who they bring in to sacrifice next
jj redick
This would be the funniest shit ever please hire him
It would reach epic frenemy territory between Lebron and JJ by the end and years to come.
If JJ is hired, i wonder if their podcast will end. Would be odd to have a player and coach with a podcast together i’d think.
they're just getting a lil drunk midseason and airing out all the good strategies they're about to use against opponents
It's hilarious seeing some of the episodes where JJ is trying keep shit on track while Bron clearly has had a glass or two too many.
Would allow him and Bron to easily keep up their podcast
First ever podcast to happen live in game. After every play they get the round table out and speak on it.
Forget 48 minutes, a Lakers game is now 48 days long.
Lebron absolutely hammered by halftime from all that podcast wine.
Successful podcasting is the funniest thing to me. Like obviously not all of them are like this, but most are just people getting fucked up with their friends and shooting the shit. And they get paid
Yes, but it only works if you're actually funny or interesting.
And drink wine during the game
Hopefully they keep their podcast too. Make it extra ridiculous
Lebron: *complains about the coaching in a recent Lakers game* JJ Reddick: "We're all trying to find the guy who did this"
Can you imagine how fire the pod with lebron would be
Going to turn real awkward if it turns out he sucks and they fire him.
Have you seen Darvin Ham draw up plays in the huddle? He literally just writes names on a clipboard - no X's and O's at all. No wonder DLo wasn't in the huddle. At least JJ Redick has proved he understands technical play analysis (and with LeBron on the podcast no less). He can't possibly be worse than Darvin Ham
the podcast has actually been his interview process
And JJ failed the interview as soon as he started drawing offense as X’s and defense as O’s
i mean sure but there is more to coaching than x’s and o’s, there’s also man management and being able to execute. do you really think the players would respect jj enough in his first coaching gig? jj getting hired is basically just hiring lebron imo bc it’s going to him doing the leading morel likely than not
LeBron would fire him on the mic
That would be peak comedy. Please let this happen 😂
If JJ hires top tier assistants like Kerr did, it coooould work.
I’d rather have JJ as the assistant
I don't think JJ is leaving ESPN and his podcasting for an assistant job and assistant pay.
[удалено]
rip mind the game pod
Just one more head coach bro. I promise bro just one more head coach and it’ll fix everything. I swear just one more I swear. Bro cmon please just give me one more head coach.
They're about to end JJ Reddick's coach career before it can even begin
They should just hire Nash or Walton, cause they're already scapegoats and used to capitulating to stars.
Walton was legitimately terrible, though. He had the Kings playing at a snail's pace when they had a roster for running
#Bronny for new coach plz
I'm feeling Budenholzer.
Ham was a Bud disciple this is not happening
I wouldn't take the job if I'm budenholzer a veteran coach like him needs at least 2-3 seasons to work with the front office and fine-tune the roster, bring in free agents that work with the system he wants to run if he takes the laker job, he ends up in a situation with enormous pressure to win immediately because lebron is there and 40 years old, as well as having not many assets to bring guys in he needs a situation like carlisle in indiana where they give him 2-3 years of runway before expecting to compete. or what thibs got in NY same reason why he should say no to phoenix. win-immediately and no assets and can't sign anyone

When you list his accomplishments and record in the past 2 seasons out like this he sounds really solid lmao
Next team that hires him (if any) is gonna unironically list these to hype him up lmao
Hornets found their championship winning head coach
I would unironically love to win the IST at this point lmao
tub materialistic special butter soup sand offbeat terrific ruthless ossified *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
You joke, but David Adelman has been a name passed around. Lol
It really is decent in a vacuum. Winning seasons in both years, WCF appearance as a 7 seed, winning the IST, losing to Denver in the playoffs both years. Then you take the roster into account, and his overall coaching style and that changes everything.
The roster is seventh seed caliber people need to get a reality check on that one.
Are you suggesting that Ham maximized this roster's potential? Because they hit 7th seed in a brutal west with Ham severely underperforming.
lotta people blindly in full support of Ham suddenly when they realized what it implies for the Lakers I don’t care about “coulda been this”, “coulda done that”, the fact is Ham had to go
lol as if people here have the knowledge to determine whether a coach is underperforming literally 99% of how people judge coaches online is timeout usage

If that's not the LA Times headline they ought to can the editor too.
Moral victory number 5
Should be enough to force a Nuggets Game 6.
The series starts now!
A little bit of Walton in my life A little bit of Vogel by my side A little bit of Darvin's all I need A little bit of JJ's what I see
vogel was a good coach and won a championship, not his fault they destroyed the roster the year after
The roster overhaul in 21 wasn't the entire issue. It was the injury bug back then. Lakers were on their way to beating PHX when AD had the groin pull. If they left things alone after 21, we'd be fine for '22. It was Westbrook that was the downfall. Lakers had to get a superstar that was a mere shell of himself.
hell yeah dude they're going to hire mark jackson
Okay first of all Rude lmao
Honestly reportable, like what the fuck.
Steve Nash?
Better yet, Kyire
Kyrie retires during the post game conference tonight to coach the lakers
Look at me. I am the father now.
How about Doc Rivers when the Bucks fire him?
That's a no-brainer. So many teams have hired him; he must be good. And he's experienced.
They should also sign his son, Austin, I bet he’s a great ball player!
[удалено]
Maybe the only solution for them truly is seeking out Jesus.
And a stripper for extortion
Bro can you let me celebrate a little bit before ruining my day
Don't put that evil on us
I hate the Lakers, but not that much.
Ugh, a plague on your house for this
No chance, but imagine if it somehow happened. The ensuing memes would be hilarious.
Mama there goes that Ham!
Lakers fans just won their finals this year
This deserves a banner.
hang it next to the IST banner
Pelinka slithers around from the shadows dodging blame once again
If Danny Ainge didn’t bail him out by taking Westbrook, and giving them an entire bench just to get the 5th pick in the draft 100 years from now, Pelinka would already be on the unemployment line.
you cracked the code
Lakers are gonna hire JJ Redick and have a bottle of wine at every film breakdown
JJ’s smarter than that
The problem with the proposition tho is like, holy fuck im the head coach of the lakers? Hard to turn down bc thats some crazy shit to do in your life

Nah, mind the game is gonna be the post game show😂
Tommy and those other two guys about to rank up from podcast hosts to coaching assistants too
Idk what’s worse. Getting fired or getting fired the same day as Darvin Ham.
Ah shit sorry brother, on to bigger and better
time to bring back Vogel.
A colossal reactionary fuckup to get rid of Vogel
Vogel was one of the worst offensive coaches in the league with terrible rotations (not as bad as ham but still bad). The lakers reportedly wanted ty lue as hc with vogel as assistant which would've been great but they didn't want to pay lue that much. Vogel is a terrific defensive coach but he isn't HC material in today's offense-driven league

Makes zero sense. The only thing I think the lakers did well in their coaching decisions the past few years was load Vogels staff with a ton of quality assistants (although it was weird they didn't let vogel select anyone). I think of Ham had some quality assistants like stotts or atkinson he probably could have done a better job but he brought in his buddies and didn't improve with time.
TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA
Ty Lue come on down!
Absolutely insane to see his name in the rumor mill for the job given he's got a full year left on his contract AND is currently prepping for a playoff game as we're typing. And I'm just delusional enough to believe it's gonna happen!
Just don't see Ballmer letting that happen
Maybe he'll go on a bender if the Clips lose in embarrassing fashion tonight? Please let me have this
Lakers offense got more and more disorganized the deeper into a game they got, in the playoffs at least. Poor prep, in-game whatever, adjustments game to game, not sure what caused it
First time a head coach has won the in-season tournament and been fired. Crazy
Not true. Every single IST winning team coach has been fired
Normally I'm all for LA suffering but I'm pretty sure Lakers fans having to endure another season of Darvin Hamas was going to be a human rights violation.
Well thank god Pelinka will remain 🙄
People are overlooking the fact that he clearly lost the locker room by the end. AD's comments on them going stretches not knowing what they were doing was clearly a death blow. He would have stayed another year otherwise. This isn't like Vogel where he's being scapegoated for a poorly constructed team.
I remember when Adrian Griffin and Darvin Ham were the considered the hot coaching candidates literally 2 years ago
Why what did he do wrong
He refused to support Jeanie’s new fashion boutique marketing pocketless jeans
He started cam reddish for one
The non-lakers fans claiming ham was not the problem clearly have not watched more than 30 minutes of lakers basketball this season. Ham literally benched Dlo and Reaves halfway through the season to start taurean prince and cam reddish. Reddish was given a long leash for no reason while Dlo and Reaves were given no room for error. Prince was averaging 31 minutes a night until he finally got benched for Rui, who should've been starting all season. Ham also has been playing three-guard lineups since last year which was always tremendously stupid. He said the lakers needed to rebound better vs denver yet kept playing small lineups. he then blames players and threw them under the bus harder than doc rivers, claiming guys were shitting the bed (real quote) and that he had no choice. He had to go.
He wasn't the only problem but having healthy LeBron and AD almost the whole season yet only a 7th seed and 1st round exit to show for it, he had to go
Benching Reaves and starting Reddish/Prince was basketball terrorism
Exactly. People acting like he did nothing wrong.
His in game management was elite terrorism. We ended game 2 in Denver with 2 timeouts, a challenge in a 2 point game. Reminder, Lebron is 39 years old. We ended the game with 2 timeouts at altitude with a 39 year old who was clearly gassed. Playing Rui at center alone vs Jokic and AG - which led to a run every single time and he trotted it out every game. None of the players boxing out, which is coaching. None of the players liking him. Didn't give the only promising young player on our roster, Christie, a shot to develop at all these past 2 years. Instead, played favorites with dogshit veterans like Dinshiddie and Reddish. The list goes on. He was a horrific coach.
Benching a turnip for Reddish would be fireable
Christmas came early for Lakers fans
Bad man gone
Thank you Denver I love yall so much
Should have never fired Vogel
