"Lakers players wanted assistant coach Phil Handy to replace Ham earlier in the season. However, Los Angeles owner Jeanie Buss is a fan of Ham and she has never thought about firing him as coach, the source said. "

We definitely needed Kyrie over D'Lo

All respects to D'Lo, he been hooping the way I know he can but he too inconsistent and him worrying about Dennis instead of playing the way he played at times this year solidified who he is to me

I'd take Handy, No Diddy

What a waste of a season. Pelinka’s decision making after winning the championship has been absolutely atrocious.

They want us to take Bronny so bad lol

Ham gone

Tbh, it ain't been worth the one chip

And I always thought they should've kept Josh Hart in that AD trade. They super overpaid

We could've had AD, Bron, Lonzo, Hart and other solid players

Exactly. We made a few good moves this summer but the move was to get Kyrie. We failed doing that. If we lose in play in or first round, then DLO and Ham gotta go. Maybe we flip DLO for Levine or Murray

The way I see the roster

Starters -
C- AD
F- RUI
F- Lebron
G- Reaves
G - ????

C- Hayes - I honestly think Ham screwed his development. A new coach would help him
F- Prince - ham overplayed to start the year but now has a good role. Solid 3-D forward
F - Vandy - been out basically the entire year. Stupid to extend him when his stock was high.hopefully he’s healthy next year and improves his jumper. Good on the boards and defense
G- Max - should be a regular in rotation
G- Spencer - I think he’s done enough to be our backup PG. Hes a good defender and can create offense. Bring him back. I think a new coach and chemistry would help. Still has a few years in his prime

Maxwell - I think he can challenge next year for minutes as a backup SF. Hopefully he has a good summer and makes a jump. I’m high on him to be a rotation player ——-
————-
That’s 10 guys right there
———/
JHS- prolly stuck with him as he has no trade value. Hopefully he makes a jump in the next 2 years to eventually be a PG we can play
——
I seen that Cam Reddish and Wood have player options. I can see both taking up the options. I would try to upgrade and tell them to kick rock. Cam hasn’t impressed me. Cam decent defender but seemed to just be taking up space and minutes. Wood is alright back up big but not as useful when he isn’t featured on offense. I’ll rather have a defensive big.
——
Vincent sure has sucked. He would be trade bait but I doubt anyone takes on that contract. Prolly stuck with him
————/
That’s 14 guys. 1 open spot and two picks. Plus a mid level guy.

2 way
1- Castleton- developmental big
2- Bronny - I think we sign him as an UDFA. Stays in South Bay for next couple years
3- a good UDFA

I think we going need to dump Vincent, Wood, Cam, 2nd rounder for roster space

I wanted James before he got to the Clippers, but LaVine/Trae/Murray/Mitchell would be fine with me

Jax ain't never been nothing more than a volleyball player, his development wasn't really stunted

I think we need an upgrade of Max, Gabe, Cam, Spencer, Hayes, and all of our young guys

Stein: Growing belief among rival executives is that the Cavs will be forced this summer to move Donovan Mitchell if they cannot agree to a extension.

Wonder what it would take to get him

a simple trade demand to lal is all it takes esp with him having an opt out

But i mean what would the package look like lol

They def would try to pry Reaves

Yeah, there's no way the Cavs keep him through next year. Their team potential is capped and I could even see them moving Jarrett Allen

this one was funny lol

Lakers fall to the 10th seed

Yes, Rob needs to go

Y’all have wasted 5 out of 6 seasons with LeBron.

Joker probably the best player in the league and has a good starting lineup around

Ant Edwards and SGA have emerged as superstars with talented rosters

Luka is a superstar and they added Kyrie with a strong roster….

It’s tough to break the top 4 In the west

Somebody ain't gone make it to the offs with 45+ wins. Feel like the 2000s again
