The Lakers are at their wit’s end trying to ramp up their 19-20 record. In the last 16 games they have played, Lakers Nation has been able to secure only five wins. For a while, it also appeared as if their performance was reflected by the internal turmoil that had plagued the team. Meaning that there was dissatisfaction regarding HC Darvin Ham’s contributions or lack thereof. Atop the many injuries that were slowing the team down, there had been a disconnect in the locker room mainly due to Coach Ham switching up the starting lineups too often.
As disappointment grew, it seemed like his time in the team would be cut short. However, according to recent developments, it could very well be the opposite. The Lakers are also in dire need of revamping the team, and the Hawks‘ Dejounte Murray‘s name is rumored to be on the table.

Darvin had signed a four-year contract with the Lakers in June 2022, but when news surfaced that the Lakers were falling apart, it seemed that he would be let go before completing his tenure. This belief has been disregarded as according to sources, the Lakers owner Jeanie Buss, and President of Basketball Operations Rob Pelinka have assured him that there is nothing to worry about his position in the team. They continue to put their trust in Coach Ham and are still keen on retaining him.

On a more positive note, things are looking up for the Lakers as HC Ham shares, “I speak to Rob every day, and we’re always discussing ways to improve our team and what we can do better as a coaching staff. It’s an open dialogue that I embrace and that is helpful. We’re all trying to get this right, and we will.”
