Personally speaking, I wouldn’t be really pressed if he ends up getting poached this offseason by the Lakers or any other team

I know it is a dumb statement, but I think Ham will play his role well in our defense as an assistant

I mean the pool of available head coach candidates is so small that his name is going to be thrown out literally every time an opening comes up regardless of whether or not there’s actually any interest on his part. So, in my opinion at least, this doesn’t mean much.
> The Lakers have parted ways with the entire coaching staff beyond Darvin Ham, sources told ESPN, including Phil Handy – who coached under both Ham and Frank Vogel in L.A. The L.A. Times was first to report.
Phil Handy too is very surprising. After seeing Lebron rip Phil Handy a new one in the second half of his mid-game toddler tantrum in the 4th of their Game 4 vs the Nuggets in LA over them not agreeing to challenge a call he wanted them to (they were already up like 20 pts so it was the furthest thing from the crime he was making it out to be), this has the stench of Lebron all over it.

Did Ham get fired already?

JJ Redick would be an interesting choice for Lakers head coach…

Not that he was or is a problem, but I wouldn’t mind Kenny moving on. He hasn’t filled the void from Mike Brown’s departure. Without seeing behind closed doors, this is an assumption/opinion on my end, I would’ve liked to see a more vocal leader and/or someone to push Kerr. In particular, someone that would question the rotations that happened throughout the entire first season, someone to question our defensive schemes, etc. Steve is too stuck in his ways and need’s his fundamentals questions, and I don’t know if Kenny has shown to do that. Purely my opinion and maybe Kenny was trying to give influence. I just saw a stubborn, and slow to react Kerr that had no choice but to feed into playing Kuminga, reduced Klay’s role, reduced Looney’s role, reduced Saric’ role, etc. If he was 20-25 games quicker to at least *try* and make changes this season, we likely wouldn’t be in the Play in and would be battling in the play offs.

If he gets hired by some other team (Bucks were also interested in him before they hired Doc), get an experienced coach next to Steve, no more internal promotions please. I would love to have Vogel next to him.

Take him, we need a shake-up of the assistant coaches

The largest problem with the Lakers is the fact is that they have snatched starters from other organisations and turned them into bench warmers and are not able to give them sufficient rotation. So they all end up playing like ass because of lack of reps at their role.
Look at their usage percentages and minutes. They have all dropped significantly since their arrival at Lakers

JJ Reddick should do it and then have a LeBron and him podcast after every game

Edit to add from Bobby Marks on [Twitter](https://x.com/bobbymarks42/status/1786460395516956717?s=46&t=SBW3XJi-eEDBr6FtvDfngg):
>This is the third time in six offseason that the Lakers are looking for a new head coach.
>
>This will be the 8th head coach since 2011-12.
Sounds more like an organizational problem than a head coaching problem just saying…
