Cooked Kings, bytchmade bigs, and shytty snitches: Your 2022-23 GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers season thread

He can't bench a guy like Russ unless the FO tells him to.

This is his third game as coach and nxggas are really out here trying to deflect blame away from Westbrook onto him.

It’s always is it ochie Wally or is it one mic with LWO

he's only hurting himself, I cant think of any team willing to sign him as a starter next year

Literally the worst player in the NBA.. add in the terrible BBIQ plays

Meh, he's made it clear ball ain't his end all be all anymore. His unwillingness to change his game at all gonna have him out the league like AI and Melo. Swift decline and exit.

Who would even sign him as a bench player?

 

[steph_harden]

Ham's style has made Reeaves completely irrelevant, I think he should use him as a backup guard rather than telling him to be in the corner. He is more useful with the ball in his hand

Reeves is a really good playmaker. Those skills should be utilized. I’d be nice if he could at least shoot it at league average tho. He’s been putting in work so I think he’ll get there...but even if he doesn’t Ham should be utilizing his play making skills. He’s the 2nd best playmaker on the team...

Some team will fall for it if he does good enough PR and if he truly agrees, I think he can be okay if he is running and playmaking. But it has to be a true bench role

Then they would have to fire me theres certain shyt when it comes to YOUR career that you don’t play the yes man role on …I’m not letting no 34 year Westbrook sabotage my career

Just from a logical standpoint …who the fukk has Russ built up this good will with in LA to where Ham should be afraid of controlling his rotations? Who? You think Bron is going to fight to keep Russ playing in these moments …Russ has already embarrassed LeBron for him choosing to bring him to the Lakers to begin with …so I’m confused …he’s not some laker legend like Kobe where you don’t want to upstage because of the backlash ..he’s an aged out vet like Melo/Blake/Carter who needs to get down or lay down …if Ham is a real coach he’ll do the right thing …I’d expect some changes over these next 10 games or so

Dame stay playing the lakers like he has a vendetta against them

If you don’t have a physical defender with size to check Dame you’re dead meat.

I knew pretty early that after enough of my own fails on the court that I wasn't NBA material
It's got to be rough to realize that during your career, but at the same time convince yourself you still nice
