Darvin Ham & Rob Pelinka | 2022-23 Lakers Exit Interviews

HAM HAS TO GO…..PLUS GO GET IRVING, IF THEY CAN STILL GET TURNER AND BOJAN….PROBLEM IS LAKERS DONT HAVE PLAYER EXPERIENCE WHEN IT COMES TO PLAY OFF AND CHAMPIONSHIP…..UNLIKE DENVER THEY HAVE LOTS

lakers must do for the next season:

1. re-sign reaves & hachimura
2. bring back schroder, walker & sign minimum contract with Thompson, Troy Brown, Gabriel
3. Replace Dlo, Beasley, Harrizon &
Mo Bamba for FRED VANVLEET &
JACOB POELTL
4. Should Pau Gasol Mentored AD to
improve his Post Moves & Skills..

Take Note:

1. FRED VANVLEET IS A GREAT & SMART DEFENDER, CAN SHOOT THREES, CAN FACILITATE AT PG & HAS A CHAMPIONSHIP EXPERIENCE..PLUS HE IS REPRESENTED BY RICH PAUL..

2. JACOB POELTL IS A 7"1 CENTER THAT CAN BLOCK SHOTS, CAN SCORE 20-30+ POINTS, KNOWS HOW TO USE HIS SIZE & LENGTH UNDERNEAT THE BASKET AND CAN SHOOT OUTSIDE AS WELL PLUS HE TRAINED & MENTORED BY TIM DUNCAN IN SPURS.

WITH THIS LINEUP WE CAN PLAY BIG PLUS IT CAN GIVE LEBRON & AD TO TAKE SOME REST:

PG: FRED VANVLEET, SCHRODER
SG: REAVES, WALKER, CHRISTIE
SF: LEBRON, TROY BROWN, VANDO
PF: AD, HACHIMURA
C: JACOB POELTL, T. THOMPSON, W. Gabriel

Yeah, the ending is painful but I am very optimistic about the Laker's future. Denver was the superior team and the superior team usually wins a 7 game series. The Lakers had a HORRENDOUS START OF THE SEASON, had their stars injured-AGAIN- and made the brilliant moves at the trade deadline to reach the Western Conference Finals! While all things considered, this is a major accomplishment, it's not good enough for a franchise with the championship legacy that the Lakers have. LeBron has NOTHING MORE TO PROVE and deserves to leave on his terms, BUT I DEFINITELY WANT HIM TO RETURN! This healthy Lakers team with the current depth and versatility on both ends is a contender for another championship!!

I’ve never been so excited for the new NBA season, especially after being swept.

Rob's balls are distracting lol

Lebron thinking of retired after thinking of having to working with these 2 guys for next year again 😂
Year 20 wasted on a dumbass rookie coach and dysfunctional front office 😂
Only could make some move when the lakers is 13 in the west, do nothing at all in the off season 🗑️

This video should have been 20 sec……………………buh bye lbj.

The way everyone squeezed tasty juice from rotten orange is outstanding and we can easily say we overachieved but sadness is huge and for some reason I can’t process it. Let’s go Lakers 🟣🟡
Please come back stronger and hopefully we will have another shot in the playoffs.

Ending up in the Top 4 out of the 30 teams after being handicapped with a dysfunctional roster until trade deadline with a rookie coach trying to find his footing is an exceptional accomplishment 👏

What core a are you talking about in absence of LeBron ? Inconsistent AD, Selfish DLo, and bunch for Developing Talent like Austin and Rui. This core will likely get the Lakers to 1st round playoffs at best.

Bamba was injured jarred got injured late.d lo was a scrub last 4 games and Beazley was trash..thats a big difference that let the lakers down

People are going to have to accept the fact that during some series teams just don’t play as well. And that’s especially the case in basketball, which a game based on mostly rhythm and continuity. The Lakers had 2 great series and then by the time they played Denver, they lost some of that rhythm and certain players (like DLo) shot just wasn’t falling. When facing a great team like Denver has this year, the Lakers just didn’t have enough firepower to overcome them. So just be satisfied that the Lakers made it as far as they did. The organization has 17 titles. It’s all good.

failure to adjust, not using your big man, small ball line up when you're getting eaten in the paint, you have a good roster, just failed to use them properly with questionable rotation.

Lebron and Davis,is easy,if Lakers have center player and better point guard,i believe,next season lakers are champion,abd lebron have 5 championship or back to back champion lijke Jordan

The solution of lakers is is better center player and point guard

Assuming LeBron all in for his 5th and Lakers 18th chip in his 21st season, I have 2 main questions of this current roster to take it further next year … and one not so far fetched (???) suggestion to implement for AD after watching Jokic: 1) can Lakers coaching staff get DLO to commit to becoming the defender needed for 4th quarter crunchtimes (if not who can Pelinka upgrade to)?; 2) can Malik Beasley re-find a badly needed 40%+ 3-point productivity (or can we find another)? For AD, who has underutilized guard skills, why cant he copy Joker (as better athlete) or Draymond and push ball up off rebounds through center of court looking to create various offensive opportunities for himself and teammates (including a LeBron that shouldnt need to do this anymore)?

With a Centre like Howard it would not have been 4-0, that was on Rob. I was sad about Beadsley and DLo 😒

I can’t believe they are going to keep this dumb coach he belongs in high school no College will take him

Pelinka is still the problem, Jennie needs to step in and put an end to this nonsense drama and adding more with Kyries drama… Lakers have a 3rd allstar not being used right! DLo & AD tandem needs to begin, the tourch has been passed! Get value for Lediva in the market and add a 3rd star around DLo and AD! Lebron will leave Lakers after his contract to who ever drafinf his son after next year NCAA one and done season! Lediva have never been commited to any team! Start DLo pg, Walker sg, Rui sf , Vando pf and AD center! Reaves 6th man lets go! Trade Lebron now! No to drama Kyrie!

Austin Reeves will have a hot game every 3 or 4 games but thats about it. He really cant guard the better scoring wings in the league. Lakers need to move him being he's a hot commodity right now. As Lebron ages his defense gets worse, he doesnt need average defenders around him
