Also wow, no Booker? While I personally find Jamal Murray not cracking the top ten to be worse, I’m surprised.

So are we about 1-2 weeks away from a Ramona Shelburne Draymond puff piece + Jalen Rose sit-down at this rate?

Yeah, that seems about the timeline. You'll know it's close when local media starts dropping their puff pieces, which Silver will then use to gauge reaction outside of the fanbase that already likes him.

It's the sharing of a Buha story and his whole thing is taking r/lakers and lakers twitter fan posts and pretending they're real for many many clicks.

Like this one is Ham said "we have some injuries" in a question as to why the team is struggling in one interview, and in a different interview Reaves said "injuries aren't an excuse" when asked "is your team struggling with injuries" and this is the basis of today's story.

It's annoying to me because there are plenty of actual good criticisms for Ham and he could actually be in trouble at the moment but Buha is framing it as because of melodrama that just isn't there.

Shams is credited on the story too, and as vague as “six sources” is I don’t think he’s making it up

quote:

There’s currently a deepening disconnect between Darvin Ham and the Lakers locker room, six sources with direct knowledge of the situation say, raising questions about the head coach’s standing. The people spoke with The Athletic on condition of anonymity so that they could speak freely on the matter. Those sources have described that the disjointedness between the coach and team has stemmed from the extreme rotation and starting lineup adjustments recently from Ham, leading to a fluctuating rhythm for several players across the roster.
I’d guess that DLo is mad and started talking poo poo (or “sources close to DLo” or “familiar with his thinking” ie his agent)

Ham probably told him he has to play defense and DLo just can't abide that. It's also my theory for why he tried to run Rudy Gobert out of Minnesota and why they had to get rid of him.

If it's true, he'll be sulking like crazy any minute now until they flip him for Zach Lavine and make him the Bulls problem (sorry Bulls fans)

Buha has been very open that his anonymous sources are not connected with the team management or any players because he already got in trouble in his career when he was the Clippers beat writer.

Again there is no disagreement that Ham is in trouble, and the Shams stuff is probably agent based. But a huge chunk of that story is relying on someone unreliable.

Not surprised to hear that. He did it a while back on another broadcast I watched, don't remember which one sorry. It wouldn't be bad if he wasn't also a dogshit commentator but lmao he needs to catch on somewhere so I'm not accidentally exposed to him. I could feel myself actively losing basketball knowledge just listening to him.
