Lakers Head Coach Darvin Ham On Hot Seat As Locker Room Disconnect Reaches Fever Pitch

Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham was happy with the depth of his roster heading into the new season, but it seems like there are major issues within the locker room. Shams Charania and Jovan Buha from The Athletic discussed the issue between head coach Ham and players. The Lakers had lost eight of the last 11 games entering the game against the Miami Heat and ended up losing that one as well. LA has a 17-18 record at this point of the season and the 110-96 loss to the Heat didn’t sit well with many fans.

This was more than enough for several analysts to discuss Ham’s future with the Lakers. The front office already parted ways with Frank Vogel after his struggles to keep the Lakers in the winning chart. Will Ham follow the same pattern?

Analysts relied their reports on comments made by multiple sources. At least six sources expressed concerns about Ham’s coaching. They questioned his decision making and all the rotation moves he made so far. Losing one game after another triggered a serious discomfort inside the Lakers locker room and fans are disappointed.

Ham responsible for the locker room wreckage?

The Lakers won the In-Season Tournament and celebrated great success. However, the most recent loss put them in a rather uncomfortable position. Are players exhausted? LeBron James has already spoken about the situation in LA and the issues his teammates deal with.

NBA analysts were also concerned about the depth Ham had early in the season, but he was happy with his group of players. The front office made some changes and upgraded both ends of the game.

LeBron and Anthony Davis deliver great performance every time they make the court. Healthy Lakers players give their best shot each night. Is Ham really hurting the team with his lineup moves? It’s a long season and the front office will have plenty of time to make a decision.
