Boom! I'm first!

So I guess they got tired of waiting on Doc Rivers and Quin Snyder...

Good luck to Ham. He's going to need it.

What a shame, Mark Jackson and this Lakers team really would have been a perfect fit.

Lebron still the coach and gm. He’ll make the decisions of who he wants to play with and will sub himself in or out when he feels like it. Hopefully Darvin isn’t used as a scapegoat as the last coach when things go bad.

Oh no, Sixers. Looks like one more year of Glenn Doctor Rivers for you.

Love Darvin Ham. I wish he got a better gig first, but I'm happy for him.

The Lakers will hire Darvin Ham. After the first week of the season the Lakers will be 1-4.

Molly- Stephen A, is Darvin Ham cooked?

Stephen A.- Molly…and JJ let me tell you something. I love ham. You know me I can eat ham in the morning, day or night. Hell I just had some ham this morning. I’ll eat it with anything. I’ll eat green eggs and ham I love it so much! But let me tell you something…this brotha is OVERCOOKED. I mean I mean I don’t know how I can say this anymore succinctly! This ham is OVERCOOKED! Now he’s scarred for life and I love him. I know his family, wife great kids. I hang out with his son on the weekends. Just great great family, but they about to fire him!

Molly- hmm yes yes makes sense. How about you JJ?

JJ- Well see here’s the thing Molly. Darvin can only work with what’s he’s got. What did I tell you last year? No matter who the coach is it won’t work! This roster is atrocious! We’ve seen so far Coach Ham running a left block flare screen to help Westbrook, but he keeps missing. They run the 1-5 pick and roll with Bron, but it’s turnover over turnover. This roster is just screwed, Molly. I feel bad for Darvin Ham.

Molly- hmm yes yes thank you JJ.

Now they just need to sign Dwayne Bacon and OJ Mayo. That would make a killer sandwich

Oh look Woj got the info way before anyone else just like the Vogel news and hasn’t said a bad thing about the Lakers since.

I’m somewhat shocked. This is actually a competent choice by an generally incompetent organization. I expected them to go with the usual coaching carousel candidates of people like Stotts and Atkinson but they went with the fresh talent.
