Sources tell ESPN that the Lakers dismissed Darvin Ham.
Yes! For me the missed challenge opportunity with Bron was Ham’s biggest error in the Nuggets series. The 1 when Bron was so frustrated and the Nuggets got an easy basket.
Replacing Ham is a welcome improvement but it doesn’t solve all the Lakers’ issues.
They need a consistent scorer aside from AD and Bron. Ideally this scorer will be their top scorer. AD will be the 2nd scorer. Bron will be the 3rd.
They need a better 2nd unit. They’ll provide some scoring and defense while AD and Bron are resting. Right now the roster is clearly shallow.
Of course, assuming that Bron will stay.
Part of the reason he’s so good is that he’s tall another reason is that he doesn’t have to handle the ball. His stroke is pure… One of the best catch and shoot guys in the NBA. Ask him to do something with the ball and it is likely it won’t work out, but as a pure shooter he’s excellent.
