Apparently he would play favorites and never took blame. What do you guys think?

A LeBron James coach lasts on average 2.6 years. So this is right on time, perhaps a bit early. LeCoachKiller

When isn't a coach, with Lebron on the team, in serious peril. Having the GOAT on your side doesn't guarantee victory or your job.....
I'm so tired of the typical......

It's ridiculous that we're firing coaches basically every 3 years.

We haven't seen a player coach since the late 70s. Just for the spectacle and potential interest of it all I'd enjoy a season of LBJ as Coach/Player. Either it becomes a really intresting storyline of sucess or disaster.

Wasn’t Mike Dunleavy Sr an assistant coach and a player at the same time before he got the Lakers job?

Re: Darvin Hams future as a Lakers head coach is in serious peril.
Serious question.
Why did they fire Frank Vogel in the first place?
They won a bubble championship with him and Lakers fans will argue it was legitimate.. OK.
They lose in 20-21 to a very good Suns team in the first round after some extremely questionable roster decisions.
They then fire him after a season where Lebron plays 50 games and AD plays 40..
Whats the point of firing Vogel if you have championship aspirations and Darvin Ham is seriously the best you can do as a replacement? Guy was a lifelong assistant with no prior head coaching experience ready to pretend he knows what hes doing in the playoffs? Why?
Yeah, Vogel isnt a great coach... but you fired him for a nobody after he won you a championship?

Good. The Lakers need to stop acting like a poverty franchise hiring these bottom tier coaches.

As it should be - he is not a very good coach and that is not Lebron's fault.

No coach is safe today. They're the meat shield, the first line of defense when ish hits the fan. Whether its the coaches fault or not, they're gonna blame him.

He lost control of that team, they stopped listening to him and he basically stopped trying. Trading for Westbrook was one of the dumbest trades of recent memory so hard to fully blame him. Thinking about that deal and the Beal trade, poor guy was on the receiving end of some really bad decisions by management.

I say good. He basically cost them Game 5 by failing to read the momentum in the second half. He waited for their lead to evaporate in the 3rd and for Denver to go on a 10-2 run before finally calling a simple timeout. Repeatedly bad in terms of in-game adjustments.

He's a man of many excuses. Never took accountability for anything, and would constantly blame injuries for poor play. Good riddance
