Talk about letting him grow into the coaching role is organizational negligence.

LeBron is old and possibly a FA this summer. You have this year. It is all you are guaranteed.

If the Cavs had let David Blatt grow into the coaching role, they wouldn’t have any rings today.

It doesn’t seem like the players have any trust in Ham. Need to make a change.
Exactly.

I guess I disagree with the general consensus around here.

I really like Darvin Ham... and I LOVE the direction he's taking the Lakers.

Everyone just needs to back off and give Darvin all the time he needs and then some.

:peep:

This guy gets it

I know you are joking but Ham is not being treated fairly. No coach is going to miraculously turn things around. This is a player and roster issue and it’s lazy to blame the coach.

The case for Shai to start over Curry in the All Star game can’t be denied

Bronny can’t be a 1st rounder

Yeah, don't see him improving to that level. He was playing well earlier but has struggled the last 3 or so games as his minutes have increased. Could be that the increased minutes are putting him in situations and have him playing with teammates that he's not as familiar with. Could also be expected freshman struggles. Collier went through a streak of games where he was averaging almost as many turnovers as assists.

Shouldn’t be, but economics might take over when your dad is who he is.

Hopefully that won't happen because it would just add to what will already be inevitable comparisons to his Dad. But I could see a playoff caliber team who thinks Lebron could get them over the hump using a late 1st round pick on Bronny to lure Lebron.

Morey needs to draft Bronny and then spend all his cap so LeBron has to sign for the league minimum if he wants to play with him. What a coup that would be!

If Bronny enters the draft he will be a first rounder.

Because late firsts rarely amount to more than but role players and sometimes not even that.

Spending a late 1st for a chance to get LeBron is easily worth it for many teams.

If Bronny doesn’t want to be used in that end and wants a legit chance to make it on his own, he needs to stay in school.
