[FultzNationRISE]

It obviously makes the most sense from a competitive standpoint. Honestly it's really shocking that the Lakers ever brought in Westbrook the way they did, without Lebron's knowledge or approval. He's not only a garbage player in general now, but he's the absolute worst possible fit with Lebron. It was a clearly terrible idea from the very beginning. Just shocking incompetence really.

They would improve massively just by the sheer act of sitting or buying out Westbrook entirely and removing him from the roster without any compensation. Get him tf out of Lebron's WAY.

[LeGoat4Life]

I want Lebron to have the ball all the time as well. Since Lecuck will lead the Lakers to another Lottery with his style

The Lakers biggest challenge is going to be navigating an 82 game season that keeps Bron and AD fresh and available for the postseason. Westbrook needs to be a key part of that. Without question he has to play better than he did last season. I'm willing to give him a pass because he just looked like a broken man. The guy was on the bench trying to get at hecklers because they were getting into his head.

It's foolish for the Lakers to expect Bron to hold up for 82 games and 4 rounds of playoffs averaging 37minutes a night heading into his age 38 season. The only sign of decline Bron has shown since coming to LA is he isn't as durable as I took for granted over his first 15 season in the league.

Yeah, it's always good to have one guy get 13 assists while the team gets 16 total - no team in the league will have a better brand of ball than a low-assist team like that.

Imagine if you told Popovich in 1999: "hey Popovich, you can't run your wonderful ball movement system - you have to let Duncan dominate the ball on every play (let's assume that Duncan had the handle).. Popovich would seek the nearest ledge - it would be a nightmare for him to run a "big man ball-dominance" offense (the worst kind of ball-dominance)

Ham is completely f*cked if this is his understanding of the game.. He'll be a ham alright and we'll all be "hamming" it up at his expense

[Full Court]

So basically he's saying the Lakers will play no different than last year. :lol

Lakers will suck, but Bronie will stat pad and catch KAJ. Hey, whatever works.

[Xiao Yao You]

all the time for the 40 games he plays. What is the plan the rest of the time?

This moron is already failing and I'm already linking my lips

He will lead them to a 33-49 record. But Westbrook made the playoffs with KD all the time playing more than half the season.

Have The Ball Basically All The Time

When have these words been spoken about a player who will be 38?
Holy shyt, what a friggin GOAT. :applause:

[Im Still Ballin]

That's how LeBron played in 2019-2020: him at PG, more of a heliocentric approach.

[Johnny32]

Yeah. Last year was more off ball than at any time in his career. Still dropped 30 on 62 2pt%. Lol no wonder the middle aged window licking jordone fangirls are in panic mode.

Rem when phil jackson would rather have pippen running the show as the bulls point forward than peak mj? Lol no trust he'll make the right play cuz he's a me-first chucker. That had to be embarrassing for mj.

[Im Still Ballin]

Yeah. Last year was more off ball than at any time in his career. Still dropped 30 on 62 2pt%. Lol no wonder the middle aged window licking jordone fangirls are in panic mode.

He benefits from playing off-ball, but LA suffers if that other guy that has the ball is Russell Westbrook. A Derrick Fisher-type is what they need. Someone dependable to play the point.

[Baller789]

I wonder if Ham would ask Lebron to play some D?

[TheMan]

Yeah. Last year was more off ball than at any time in his career. Still dropped 30 on 62 2pt%. Lol no wonder the middle aged window licking jordone fangirls are in panic mode.

Huh, dude took a team full of all stars to the lottery, in an era where 10 fukking teams from each conference had a shot at the playoffs :roll: Panic mode? More seasons like last year, please! Collecting empty stats and not winning shit, haha! Meanwhile Curry likely surpasses LeFraud in rings in the next couple of seasons, LMAO

We already know who is key to the Lakers success, AD.

No AD, no playoffs...

TheMan likes underaged girls related to him what a sick ****

Last years Lakers team will go down in the history books as the team that had 5 players on the 100th Anniversary team, 5 Hall of Famers led by Lebron James, and couldn't make the play-in, the single easiest season in NBA history to make the playoffs.

[Johnny32]

lebron's expectations at 37 yrs old - championship or bust. carry old, past their prime, out of the league, former stars to a ring

Not a word of a lie in here

[sdot_thadon]

Crazy to consider his coach is publicly stating he always wants the ball in his hands..... meanwhile "other" coaches fight and install systems to get the ball out of other guys' hands. Interesting.

[Full Court]

Should be pretty easy for Ham to accomplish this. All he has to do is step back and do nothing.

Zero .500 seasons out of 5 and a 1-9 playoff record* without it. :roll:

*Wouldn't even be in the playoffs in a normal era where a 30-52 record for a playoff spot isn't enough

[Atlantis]

he scored 56 against the warriors last season, no?

We were told before by some braindead casual that the lakers only won that game due to the warriors being more vulnerable because draymond green was absent during that night lmao. Yet it was the very same affair that ad didn't play at all too. :oldlol:

[Hey Yo]

[Jasper]

ham had giannis ... young.

If he plans on putting the ball in Bron's hands as much as Giannis , Bron will need breaks in the game .. either more bench or -
rest on defense , where he is weakest.

[Full Court]

Like Lue did in 2016?

You have low standards.

the full quote.

"I don't really know what sacrifice means for LeBron James on this Lakers team because if it means giving the ball up to other people, I'm not sure that's a good idea. I kind of want LeBron to have the ball basically all the time, every possession, run the show."

That is not a quote from Darvin Ham. That is a quote from Zach Lowe. In the clip you can watch Lowe saying it and he's not quoting Ham, it's his own opinion.

Here is Ham's quote about sacrifice from that clip (from All The Smoke):

"Again we talk about sacrifice, and the first thing people talk about is sacrificing scoring output or shots or something like that. No, sacrifice is making selfless plays. If you don't have the ball pushing it in the break, are you willing to sprint to your spot and open up a lane for your teammate. Are you willing to sprint and open up an open shot for your teammate. Are you willing to box out even though you're not going to get that damn rebound. But you're putting a body on a body so your man can come in a scoop it up so we can get going with our pace. So that's the thing I'm thinking about."

Then they cut to the ESPN talking heads and we see Zach Lowe say:

"I don't really know what sacrifice means for LeBron James on this Lakers team because if it means giving the ball up to other people, I'm not sure that's a good idea. I kind of want LeBron to have the ball basically all the time, every possession, run the show."

So Ham never said that he wanted LeBron to have the ball all the time.
