I understand with a shitty coach like Ham, but damn bro show some heart.
CabbageStockExchange
No coming back from this. His time with us is done and likely his time as a top starter. Cost himself millions in contract negotiations with this series
FlatBirthday333
Getting benched again just like last year
Awesomefan09
I need more context. D’Lo let down all of his teammates, the organization, and millions of Lakers fans. He also gave his critics a ton of ammo while costing himself dearly professionally. It’s admittedly a bad look so I’m not excusing the behavior, but he’s carrying a lot of weight. I can’t say I’d fare much better.
big_biscuitss
None of the starters should suit up. Play the bench, call it a series.
Like Bron said, “It’s just basketball”
Vegasguy3124
I’m still disappointed
Green-Session7085
The sick thing is… we need him to opt in for trade packages
gratitudeisbs
Poor guy. Now he has to go home to his Malibu mansion and hot wife and never has to work a day in his life.
Like lebron said, it’s just basketball. Give me the kind of money Dlo has made and I’d never stop smiling
AntSmith777
I would tell him don’t even bother to show up. Start Gabe.
lbj20201
Honestly it’s Game 4 it’s over why not just put Hayes AD Bron Reaves Dinwiddie/Gabe. DLo deserves his bench role it’s his last game anyway
robsteezy
This picture has been the talk of news all morning. This will be the most embarrassing picture of the entire NBA season. Dude single-handedly has zero heart for his game.
corybekem
To do this after Ham has stuck by you during your shitty ass showing in game 1 all the way to game 3. Ham should’ve benched him but he gave him a chance. Now you pouting on the bench cuz YOU ass? At least Westbrook stayed in it for his teammates. Same damm Dlo that was hanging out with Nick fuckin Young smh.
ukindacute
He was updating his Discord to say the series is still ours. Give him a break
gaius_worzels_bird
Man this hurts, I was delusional to have faith in him, but without his shots going in the offense falls apart. I say go out guns blazing and jack up threes every possession
stevemoveyafeet
Put max Christie in, he’ll get playoff minutes and will give us defense (effort) if he isn’t shooting well.
New_Essay_4869
He really tricked the Lakers into being near untradeable at deadline to near unplayable in playoffs
Le8ronJames
You can’t yap when you’re up and tap when you’re down. Big disappointment, not only in the performance but the lack of character.
RogueTampon
If the front office was so disconnected from the roster that they don’t realize how much these guys dislike Ham, that is a huge problem.
Js_On_My_Yeet
If I’m Lebron I’m telling this dude to sit his fucking ass at home and wait till free agency. Certified bum.
ohBloom
People on this sub acting like this isn’t the entire mood of the team, we’re just seeing out in the open from one player but I’m sure everyone else feels the same way lol
throwaway366792
I’m so done with DLo. At least fucking act like you wanna be there.
HTTRjt
adversity really shines a light on someone’s character…. this was so sad to see smfh
GoalPublic3579
Yeah just start Dinwiddie or Vincent
thanos_0622
We can’t say that Darvin Ham is a bad coach and then also ridicule a player for not wanting to participate in the timeout huddle. He probably didn’t want to listen to whatever nonsense Darvin was probably cooking up.
WCJ0114
I’m a huge dlo supporter, but you can’t start him after this. I wonder wtf happened for him to completely check out.
Any-Priority-4514
I mean what do we expect from the guy that does twirls instead of getting back on defense after he makes a shot?
Maleficent_Damage_10
Is he on the phone? How much time left in the game. Why isn’t Max playing at least he can d up pope or murray. Dlo can be a clown but Ham is not ready to be a head coach
GhostTooHigh
Absolutely livid especially since his “Don’t give up on us” BS he spewed…
East-Bluejay6891
Bitchass
HORSEthedude619
Y’all are funny
Dough-John
Simply put, he should be suspended.
tallcan710
Thought he was rolling a blunt lol
Ok_Concentrate_75
Meh, he’s human and has high expectations for himself. The guy broke 3 point records and just had a dynamic game 2. We can project based off a picture but I’m atleast 50% sure he was in his feelings over his own play. DLo isn’t Murray, who has played like shit but has found other ways to contribute. His investment is kinda based off his performance

svynnnn
Would’ve been nice to see the coaching staff send his ass to the locker room after this time out 😂
NeonPlamTree
Put LeBron at point guard
awibasedgod
He completely lost me with this shit. I hope he doesn’t wear a Laker uniform ever again after this
FuckRandyMoss
The LA lights were once again too bright for D Lo oh well
rcs2408
How immature is this guy? He talks about growing as a player and you’re over here pouting cause you got benched for 0/7, bad defense and turnovers.
Please get this guy off the team. Take Rui along with you too.
JesusDiedforChipotle
His ass belongs in China after that
ArkGoc
He just threw all his hardwork for a tantrum
ConsciousYam2403
I defended Dlo all year….i can’t after this man
hillybeat
Never trust a snitch. DLo is all yours DC, Detroit, Houston….
WideCoconut2230
What Dlo did in pic is wrong and had a horrible game. However, we’re not in the playoffs without his productivity. He’s been great overall. Now, if he opts out, that’s fine. It’s a business decision in that his value is worth more than the option year. If his asking price is fair, heck yeah I’m re-signing him. We need shooting. BTW, if the price is reasonable, I’d sign Klay Thompson too. We need shooting. Not many FA’s that will give you that.
