Darwin Ham, the current Lakers boss is expected to depart the team after another disappointing play-off campaign against the Denver Nuggets
The Los Angeles Lakers, following their recent exit from the NBA Playoffs, are reportedly considering a change in their coaching staff.
Head coach Darvin Ham is expected to leave the team soon, with his departure possibly occurring as early as the end of this week. This news comes from Jovan Buha of The Athletic during a recent podcast, where he mentioned that the search for a new head coach would commence immediately following Ham’s exit.
The speculation surrounding potential candidates for the role is already heating up as the Lakers prepare to enter a new chapter.
The new Lakers coach
Reports indicate that LeBron James, the Lakers’ marquee player, is strongly in favor of Ty Lue, the current head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers, taking the helm at the Lakers.
Given that James has the option to become a free agent soon, his preferences are likely to significantly influence the Lakers’ decisions. The possibility of Lue’s transition to the Lakers is adding an intriguing dimension to both James’ impending free agency and the overall coaching dynamics within the team.
Lebron and Ty Lue won together the 2015/16 NBA title with an amazing comeback, trailing 3-1 in the finals to a 73-9 team, the Golden State Warriors.
