SUSPENSION ARRIVE: Darvin Ham Have Been Loss And Suspended Because A Key Player With Lakers Discussed About huddles…
To put it mildly, the Los Angeles Lakers (33-29) are going through a difficult moment. They are still not in a safe place in the rankings even after having an outstanding 9-3 record in February. The gap between Los Angeles and the No. 6 spot, which this club has to get into if it wants to escape the NBA Play-In Tournament, is two and a half games and four teams.
But it is not the only issueLeBron James and Lakers head coach Darvin Ham may be growing more tense than ever, to the point that team meetings are turning into contradicting events.
Can LeBron James and Darvin Ham of the Lakers get along.
Acdcoring to a source who spoke with Anthony Irwin of Lakers Daily, “{James} sits in the huddle and gets his rest/water, rolls his eyes as Ham speaks, and waits for the huddle to break.” “If Ham ever writes a play, James will tell everyone else on the court with him to ‘f— all that,’ and he’ll call his own play as soon as the huddle ends.”
Whoa. This club may not be able to achieve consistency if the coach-player relationship is truly in such a precarious situation. Most successful postseason campaigns depend heavily on morale, therefore LA cannot afford to have a rift in communication in the locker room or on the sidelines at this crucial time of year.
Although Ham’s lineup adjustments earlier in the season were said to have irritated the players, this information may suggest that problems still exist with this team. Irwin points out that if the Lakers secure one of the eight playoff berths in April, a coaching change is unlikely to occur this summer.
If Los Angeles wants to reach its full potential and have another shot at winning the Western Conference, LeBron James needs to figure out a way to collaborate with Darvin Ham. When the Lakers play the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night, the fans will be keenly observing Mr. 40,000 and the rest of this group’s body language. The Lakers are in first place.
