Woj: “Here’s what the Lakers will have to look at: what is the marketplace, who is available to them out there….The Lakers have not shown necessarily a willingness to pay for a head coach.”

FO not willing to own up to their mistakes.
Penny pinching Jeanie
Pelinka fired Vogel and by all reports, Ham was a Pelinka hire. If he fires Ham just 2 years in, he’s officially next if the next hire goes wrong.
So they’re probably not paying for Tyronn Lue if he’s available
Probably another assistant coach. Hopefully David Adelman
Because I know no one will watch the video and this thread will be flooded with low effort “cheapie Jeanie” posts, Woj is *speculating* that the Lakers aren’t willing to pay >8 mil for the top HC on the market who is Buldenholzer.
This isn’t news. In fact it’s so carefully worded to draw clicks its laughable. Woj has plausible deniability to say the quote is in reference to past Laker HC contracts and that’s it. Because if this were actual news, he would be saying that he’s hearing this new information.
That’s a lot of words to say he doesn’t know anything.
Nah nah eef all that jamal murray chicken curry, mcdonalds Mcflurry lakers in 7
Whole lotta speculations here nothing more.
Why has Phil Handy never gotten a shot at any head coaching positions yet? But Darvin Ham can after being apart of the bucks success. Handy has had many parts of successful teams.
It’s not necessarily Ham, it’s the assistant coaches. Other than Handy the rest needs to go. Recruit Rondo and see if he’s willing to take an assistant role.
We need to know if Lebron/AD/D’Lo are going to be on the roster next year. If not, then get a rebuilding coach because Ham has already lost the trust of the young players. If they are and we’re still looking to be somewhat competitive, having a guy like Ty Lue wouldn’t be worse than Ham
I do not know why so many people look up to this Woj guy. He says a lot of words without saying anything and y’all just eat it up.
What the fuck does Ham have over the media and the front office?
Nick wright the only one to call him out
Woj mentioned trading 3 draft picks as part of a trade for a guard. I know Trae Young has come up but Woj was alluding to an on-point defender. Who would that be? I agree with Perk (for once), this is a Pelinka problem. He failed to improve the team last offseason with the MLE and 17th draft pick. I definitely don’t trust him with making a mega-trade that would mortgage our future post-Lebron.
The problem isn’t just money, it’s that no one is good at finding the right coach. It’s incompetence, they have ppl in positions they shouldnt be in because they’re Jeanie friends. Franchise is not run like a professional billion dollar business.
So get Stotts
And maybe they’ve been right? I’d have preferred Lue and I don’t like Ham, but Vogel about to get fired too like I told yall he would lol Vogel isn’t a great coach either.
If we had a shot at Spoelstra? Sure. We’re being cheap if we don’t back up the truck there, but who are we supposed to pay big money for? Glen? Budenholzer aka Papa Ham? Atkinson?
This sub doesn’t have a lot of answers for what to do besides Ham. It’d be a retread or another unproven coach. Short of Ty Lue, I don’t see a clear option that’s better.
Perkins actually nailed it…we don’t have a damn center on the team, plus he let Schroeder who was their best slasher/scorer at guard walk away for nothing…Twice! Lakers won is 2020 will McGee and Howard doing work, he let them walk too. We didn’t need McGee and Howard this year but we needed bigs…not to mention giving away Zubac for free
As a chargers fan, we’ve seen cheaping out on HC for the longest time. Hiring Jim Harbaugh is super refreshing. Hope Jeanie will just pay up for a quality HC.
Fuck Woj
IDGAF we are not done!
Where’s the portal to the alt universe where we gave Lue 4 years and never went through this damn circus
Did Perkins not hear that Pelinka locked himself in a room with Ham during roster construction? Both are equally to blame but saying Ham doesn’t have anything to do with the roster is straight false.
Now onto the FA HC prospects:
Sources say Pelinka has been in contact with Bob Myers. Is Pelinka searching for a replacement or someone he can learn under? Hmmm
Now for the HC. We need someone who’s more accomplished than Ham. Someone with a long resume and unquestioned respect from the players. Coach K is the only one who comes to mind with these requirements that might be available. We would need Lebron, AD, Jeanie, and the entire organization to move heaven and earth to convince Coach K to take the job.
Is Woj an introvert or camera-shy? I have never seen anyone look so tortured as they tried to make a point on TV.
There is no way Bud will take the job if it means pushing out his former assistant Ham. When Frank Hamblen took over for Rudy T in 2005-2006 season, Phil Jackson mentioned he wouldn’t take over until the next season to get Frank a chance as he used to be Pjax former assistant. I imagine the same would apply here, and Bud wouldn’t join as long as Ham is still on contract.
Darvin Ham didn’t fire himself.
Perk is a moron. Pelinka did fine with the Westbrook shit sandwich made by Lebron.
I’m not one of the crazies saying this is Ham’s fault either. Denver is a particularly tough matchup for us.
To me, it’s clear that age & poor cardio shape are their biggest problems. When they lose, it usually because they’re tired & slow in the 4th. Denver’s altitude accentuates that.
If they can find Ham a vet assistant, ideally an offense specialist, they can maybe help organize & strategize.
I always take shit coming from Woj with huge grain of salt. He’s not connected. He’s always had a beef with LeBron and not been good with Jeanie or Rob. I think the writing is on the wall. Ham is gone this summer. LeBron will force them to get rid of him before he reups or extends his contract.
I hear JJ Reddick it’s taking interviews. Bron has already been interviewing him for a few episodes now
