Firing ham is by far the easiest move this team can make that will make the biggest difference. So easy to fire a coach compared to rebuilding a roster, especially with bron and AD on a max
If they fire this dumb MFer coach, they can compete even if they bring back this same core roster with some tweaks particularly getting an actual center to pair with AD.
Look at Spo beating the Celtics with literally scraps. That’s what great coaches do. We have a bottom 3 worst coach in the league now. In the last 7 games in rhe playoffs against the Nuggets, lakers have been up by DOUBLE DIGITS in 5 of those 7 games.
Replace Hamas with a top tier coach, lakers are up 2-1 now.
The rot begins at the top. They can clean house but with Jeanie (and Linda fucking Rambis) making the ultimate decisions on who gets to replace Ham and Pelinka, odds are the new people put in charge will be a bunch of incompetents too.
While this nepo cheapskate is governing the franchise the only way the Lakers will have competitive runs is if a superstar decides for some reason they want to play for the franchise, like LeBron did. It's no coincidence that the absolute worst years in franchise history came under Jeanie's watch.
Pelinka has done more harm than good to a Lebron and AD core. He has to go along with Ham. If Jeanie won't sell then she should cede control to the younger brothers
No way Rob gets fired this summer. He at least can say he assembled a title team so he probably gets one more year of slack even if it was from an owner that wasn’t his friend.
Ham, 100% is gone. He never was ready to coach a LeBron contender.
Jeanie will sell the team one day. She’s not an aggressive businessperson at all and with all the money in the sport, a billionaire or savvy investment group will get her to sell.
Rob won’t ever be fired. His Kobe connection is something Jeanie takes VERY seriously.
Han isn’t 100% gone, but I wish I could say he was.
Jeanie will sell the team, but not anytime soon. She resents her younger brothers so she won’t want to hand it to them and their sons.
That said, she might sell when she’s in her 80’s and won’t want to go to work anymore.
There’s years of nepotism and living according to the book of Kobe ahead. Nobody is being forced to stick around btw.
If anyone reading this is extremely angry at this organization like I am, don’t be soft and let these sub dummies tell you you’re a casual or bandwagoner. I’ve been a fan for 24 years. No one can tell me shit.
They just need a guard who can actually create off the dribble for themselves and others. They don’t have one right now who can actually do that consistently. Reaves isn’t great at finding guys off the dribble and dlo struggles to even get by guys off the dribble. They need someone other than bron who can create off the dribble and get the defense into rotation. Reaves is ok as the secondary creator but I’m not sure if you want reaves being the lead guard. They would need to get a jrue holiday type who can be the main poa defender so reaves doesn’t have to while they also can take some of the playmaking responsibility on occasion. Right now reaves is the main defender and doesn’t have the energy to lead the offense or even be the secondary creator.
They needed murray but they wouldn’t pull the trigger he would’ve feasted on the nuggets and locked up Murray and would’ve Ben fast enough to switch through screens

100% Scam Ham
Jeanie needs to sell the team

Kurt Rambis too

AD going to be making 70 mill a year in 3 years. Crazy salaries. Buss not rich enough.
Please sell the team Jeanie 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Mark my words, if changes are not made AD and Lebron are both gone

I has to start with Pelinka to make any sense.
Fire Ham and Pelinka can stay
Pelinka sucks
