- Thread starter Morethan1
- Start date
And because Vogel isn’t a good offensive coach and his key assistants all left
LA Coach Killers 
He's the post basketball career Golden Boy right now. Hire Reddikk and just add water.

Smooth sailing from here on out...
JJ coaching career going to be over before it really starts if he goes to the Lakers
Great AI
Let's not forget he wanted Spoelstra gone, too. And then Pat Riley reminded him that he was an Indian in Miami & not the Chief.
Any coach that sees a Los Angeles area code on their line this summer should change their number.
Anybody caping for Ham didn't watch Lakers games. He was terrible as a coach and there was a reason the players were constantly taking shots at him.
This guy destroyed their chemistry from last year's playoff run by benching Rui to start the season for his guy Taurean Prince. Benched Reaves for two fukking months for Cam Reddish. Doubled down on that by benching DLo for a few weeks for Jarred Vanderbilt. He trotted out a starting lineup of Davis, LeBron, Prince, Reddish and Vando.
Once he finally went back to the playoff starting lineup, the team took off. That wasn't until February.
They were 25-25 when Ham finally put Rui in the starting lineup for good with Reaves and DLo. They finished the season 47-35. They went 22-10 with their best lineup. That's a winning percentage of 68.75%. Only OKC, Denver and Boston finished with better winning percentages.
LeBron's temper tantrum in the Denver series because Ham refused to challenge that play was the culmination of two years of frustration from Ham's ineptitude.

Also there was a tweet showing a lineup with Prince was very productive. Posters were complaining why Ham didn’t play it more
Y’all just need someone to put all the blame when it needs to be multiple people.

If you could get the job for a 4-5 year deal you'd be blessed. Get fired after the 1st year and just collect checks after that.

Power is in my hair nikka
Trading him for multiple picks+players who actually care about winning at this point would probably be best.
As a whole, the NBA definitely has a bigger problem with re-treading HC's than they'll admit to.
Only way I’d take that job is if my contract was 2 years longer than whatever LeBron signs. If they wanna fire me to appease LeBron after year 1 it’s gonna cost them.

Casual ass darvin carebear hamas ass cultistDelusional Bron stans keep parroting that "Darvin Hamas" bulllshyt from white 14 year olds on twitter like its gonna make Bron 5 years younger or get him to play defense for more than 2 possessions a game if they say it enough times.Ham didn't trade every meaningful asset the Lakers had for past his prime Russell Westbrook and THEN flip him for D'Losing of all players after that predictably failed.
That was all Pelinka following the directions laid out for him by Klutch mafia. Flip coaches all you want, won't matter a lick so long as LeGm the one orchestrating the team like he's playing 2k15 myGM IRL.
