LA Lakers Fans Will Be Furious, New Report Has Darvin Ham Job Not Being on Danger

Darvin Ham could be in not much trouble as recently reported by NBA Insiders Shams Charania and Jovan Buha suggested, even when the latter recently said in a podcast that the seat has just started to warm for a potential firing of the LA Lakers head coach.

The team has a key game tonight, as every loss by them adds fuel to the idea that coach Darvin Ham isn't the right fit, especially after the beating they suffered on Wednesday night against the Miami Heat, another NBA team that also has a countless number of players out due to injuries, as they got the win without their best player Jimmy Butler.

After the word came out that the Lakers are getting warm on the idea of maybe having to replace their head coach Darvin Ham as his most recent starting lineups have raised more than an eyebrow inside the team, and the energy is off and even Anthony Davis expressed they aren't having fun anymore, a high-ranking team source reportedly is pushing back on the idea of the front office looking to replace Ham.

“Yet as we’re reminded every year, there’s a significant difference between the mood around a coach souring and the power brokers above him actually deciding to make a change,” wrote NBA insider Sam Amick. “With that in mind, a high-ranking Lakers source pushed back against the idea Ham is on the verge of being fired. Still, serious pressure from within is clearly being applied on Ham, and there’s no better way for him to relieve it than by winning his way out in the days and weeks to come.”

Things have gone south after the Lakers won the IST

The Lakers were five games over .500 when they defeated the Indiana Pacers to win the first NBA In-Season Tournament on Dec. 9. Since then they are 3-9, with the latest defeat a 110-96 loss to the Miami Heat on Wednesday. Now, a three-game losing streak has dropped the Lakers below .500 with a 17-18 record heading into their game Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies. In addition, they are in the midst of a stretch of just two wins in their past 10 games.
