Darvin Ham has taken the brunt of the criticism for the Los Angeles Lakers’ disappointing start to the season. Whether or not it’s deserved is up for debate. But regardless of how fans feel, it doesn’t appear he’ll be shown the door anytime soon.
The Lakers currently sit at 18–19 on the season following a 106–103 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night. But even before that victory, it was reported that things would need to “worsen significantly” for Ham’s job to be in danger, according to Marc Stein’s The Stein Line Substack.
Current signals in circulation suggest that things would have to worsen significantly — significantly — for the 18-19 Lakers to truly put Darvin Ham’s job under immediate threat.
