DARVIN HAM'S JOB SAFE?
Ham is reportedly not in danger of being fired by the Los Angeles Lakers
Sam Amick (The Athletic)
All signs point to the Lakers' most important decision-maker standing by the coach, who is in the second year of a four-year deal. There's a mutual respect in that relationship, one that resulted in Buss sending a lengthy text message of support to Ham.
PRESSURE MOUNTING?
The Lakers sit 10th in the western conference standings at 18-19 on the season
Brian Windhorst (ESPN)
The organization -- at least for now -- fully supports Darvin Ham. And of the players who might be frustrated at Darvin Ham, I don't think that the players who have the power with the frustration are in that space yet.
Brian Windhorst on the Lakers:
“The Lakers don't want to have to make a big move, they prefer to retain their depth and the one last first-rounder they're allowed to trade. They sure don't want to trade Reaves and his good contract or trade three players for one like they did with Westbrook.
Brian Windorst on the Lakers:
They believe in the formula they have, which is a cadre of long defenders supporting future Hall of Famers. Yes, they can't shoot and it's a problem. Yes, their defense has fallen off and it's a problem. But if they end up doing something significant, it will probably be kicking and screaming. Keep that in mind when evaluating your visits to the trade machine.
