[Shams] Disconnect that exists between Darvin Ham and Lakers’ Locker room has NOT gone away; LA still targeting Murray but something to keep an eye on are: Dorian Finney-Smith, Spencer Dinwiddie, Royce O’Neale.

1. The next week is going to be insufferable with conflicting reports.

2. Those three would require Rui Gabe and dlo and picks That’s too much

3. Maybe Nets brought in as a 3rd team? If you can get back Murray/DFS, that’s a lot better than the shit we have now. Still need a center though, then target the buyout market.

4. so Murray talks still alive. Not trusting anyone but Shams or Woj

5. I would love DFS

   Seeing him on the bench watching Prince play 30 minutes while he plays 15 would be exciting

6. Murray dfs and a backup center would be huge

   All wouldnt matter if ham is still at the helm

7. Good time to repost this metaphor about Jeanie and her Ham problem: 

   > Lakers have a leaky toilet problem, but rather than replacing the pipes, @JeanieBuss thinks swapping out the wet toilet rug will fix the issue. Sadly, that new toilet rug will also end up getting soaked. The pipes will still need to be replaced sooner rather than later. #FireHam

8. Getting Dinwiddle would be idiotic. DFS is overrated on here as well.

9. Murray and DFS would be glorious tbh. Two guys who actually at least have the potential to defend

10. None of this is going to save the team. Just fire Ham and let the season play out instead of making rash trades every season.

11. If we trade 2029 for Dinwiddie or a 30 year old DFS standalone, I’m hanging myself

12. There’s no trade that’s going to fix a “disconnect” in the locker room. Save the FRP.

13. Larvae Hamas is causing insurmountable suffering to all Lakers followers across the globe.

14. Even if you give Giannis and Steph to the Lakers if the coach refuses to play them AND the player is disconnected with the coach – shit wont happen.

15. Don’t want any of those bums. 

16. Idk how it will be, but man, ….ownership and the front office have let the Lakers down too many times over the past 10 years already. It’s sad to say, but Jeanie probably doesn’t have what it takes. In her tenure, I feel like it’s been more bad than good.

17. If Nets would accept Rui + TP + Hayes + 3 2nds for DFS + Royce I would do it.

18. Who even cares. Just wasting assets. No trade is gonna fix this team

19. First off, none of the options are great.

    I like the Nets players more than Dejonte. I would take Dejonte, but I don’t know if he makes any difference because…

    Darvin is still the coach and lost the locker room. You don’t get that back, and it usually worsens as time goes on and you keep losing.

    If I were the Lakers, I’d go for the Nets players or see if
    you could somehow swing Caruso/Drummond, and most importantly send Ham home and see what Phil Handy could do.

    That’s the only fix I see.

20. As long as Ham is the coach we will not get anywhere. Trade who ever you want, the coach is the same and that’s the biggest issue no one seems to want to solve in the lakers

21. How and why is Dinshitty in any trade talks with us i do not get. The guy couldn’t throw a lob pass to save his life.

22. D Lo had the 3rd most minutes last night only had 9 points. Trash get him out of LA

23. Dinwiddie is one of the most inefficient players in the league and we are targeting him? No shot

24. Nothing changes with hambone

25. As someone who’s watched a bunch of nets games, none of these guys are very good, especially if you want consistency lol

26. Flo is better then dinwiddie

27. Need to start seeing some other coach names. These trades are not going to move the needle at all.

28. A Dinwiddie trade that sends out DLO and picks would be the most inept move in recent history. Like worse than the WB trade

    If we’re forced to do that but also get Royce and DFS back then its ok, but straight PG for PG trade should be fireable

29. Dinwiddie is absolute trash living off some reputation from days past.

    DFS is whats in the fridge when your mom says ‘We have Vando at home’

    Either make a trade for a legitimate playmaker (Murray) or pack it up and punt the season no need to waste assets when Ham is still your coach anyway.

    You guys seriously believe that Ham wouldn’t trot out a lineup of Dinwiddie Reaves Prince Bron AD?

30. Even with a trade, Ham probably going to still play Prince 25+ minutes a night.

31. I miss Dennis Schroeder…..

32. This clown has to go! It’s so stupid that the lakers don’t get rid of this guy already.. at this point he has lost the locker room,can’t make rotations,can’t play the right players and is totally clueless on how to coach in general.. JUST GET IT OVER WITH AND FIRE THIS MORON.

33. That bucks coach that just got fired seem to be good.  Give me Budenholzer.  Kenny Atkinson.  Anyone besides Ham.
