BREAKING: The Los Angeles Lakers dismissed coach Darvin Ham: Candidates Mike Budenholzer, Kenny Atkinson, and JJ Redikk

[Astroslik]

If I'm J.J I'd rather have the Charlotte job which is telling as fukk with all those knucklehead ass niccas.

Would be a fit for him considering the duke ties. Low expectations also

 

[In The Zone '98]

JJ is getting a divorce if he takes any of these jobs

What do you expect from the team next season

It depends on the direction this FO decides to go.. If they go all in on Trae Young it'll be a disaster, if they get D Mitch then I expect a potential top 5 seed with a 2nd round or WCF appearance, if they go all in on trying to get better role players I expect a play in seed yet again and hoping for better matchups

Coach Bud is probably the best options available and I don't even really like him.. His scheme is basically Darvin's but at least he is an actual coach who will be functioning on the sidelines

If you get hired to coach a team that's in a WIN NOW mode with a star player in his late 30's and you don't win... what do you think is going to happen

Ham should've known what it was the moment he decided to take the job. What... do you expect him to be around for a rebuilding team? NO. They didn't hire him for that.

See, now we talking..

A player like Donovan fits perfectly with Lebron..but how could they get him?

Donovan my fav player btw

 

[jaydawg08]

They get an extra 2 1st round picks if I’m not mistaken.. you’d have to package Reaves in the deal in addition to that plus more

That's the one player I wouldn't want to give up.

Another reason why the JHS pick was so bad. If we had Cam Whittemore. We probably could offer Gabe and Cam instead of Reaves.

Yeah you probably could have done that.. JHS is probably a negative asset at this point

Reaves would have to be included in any deal for another star.. teams probably wouldn’t talk to the Lakers unless he was included

I'm not one to hype up Reaves like he's untouchable.

 

[Family Lives Matter]

Would be absolutely ridiculous to give JJ this job.

I'm out if they hire him until Jeanie gives up the team

 

[Trav]

If JJ Reddikk actually ends up the coach of the mf Los Angeles gotdamn Lakers lol

 

[jaydawg08]

I'm not one to hype up Reaves like he's untouchable.

He shouldn’t be if for the right guy.. Reaves is who he is

He can be an average defender but his offense suffers. An issue is you need a good defensive guard to play alongside Reaves but idk if the offensive production and playmaking is worth it for him being the #3

problem is its a perception that lakers should win right now, in reality they lack the personnel to do so. AD is always hurt and often gets punked by contemporary bigs, and Bron is not in his prime (obviously) anymore. Guys like Dlo and Reaves are sieves on defense and the FO traded away all their defensive guys who werent a complete shytshow offensively.

And how exactly do you think the Lakers are going to get those players?

Already stated, they get an additional 2 1st round picks to deal plus Reaves and Rui contract

They have enough to make a big move if they want
