LeBron James sur le banc des Lakers

LeBron James on the Lakers benchNBA (DR)

With a lot of defeats in recent weeks, the Lakers are not at their best in the Western Conference. Some players are debated, just like coach Darvin Ham. And LeBron James may not be his biggest fan.

Postgame Interview: Darvin Ham (12/30/23) | NBA.com

Beaten by the Wolves this Saturday, the Lakers now have a record of 17-16. This is not glorious for the franchise, which still dreams of winning the title next June, despite strong competition in the West. The good news is that the front office is thinking about making some changes between now and the deadline in terms of players. But the coach is not untouchable either.

LeBron in favor of a change of coach?

With questionable coaching and ineffective rotations, Darvin Ham is far from only having admirers in Los Angeles today. Even his locker room is a little surprised by his choices, like LeBron James at the end of the match against the Wolves this Saturday. His reaction during a timeout says a lot about what he’s thinking.

No matter what Coach Ham draws in the end, LeBron isn’t feeling it 👎🏾

We clearly see LeBron being very doubtful about the choice of his coach, even if it is impossible to know more at the moment. This is not the first time that Ham and James have had some disagreements, wondering if a change of coach would not be too much. The supporters have already made their choice.

Darvin Ham is starting to cause more and more debate among the Lakers, and it is certainly not this sequence which will calm things down. Between that and the defeats, the coach could well be the next to leave.
