JJ Redick has been the talk of the town in the City of Angels after rumors surfaced he’s a prime candidate to for the Los Angeles Lakers’ vacant coaching gig. For Miami Heat legend Udonis Haslem, though, there’s one big problem if the former NBA star is hired.
For the last two seasons, Darvin Ham guided LeBron James and the Lakers. During the previous playoffs, the former Milwaukee Bucksstar managed to coach Los Angeles to the Western Conference Finals after going through the Play-In Tournament. Unfortunately, they faced a Nikola Jokic-led Denver Nuggets and fell to them in a clean four-game sweep.
As seen in their series, the Lakers didn’t stand a chance against Denver as the James and company exited the playoffs earlier than they expected. This led the front office to fire Darvin Ham and search for a new head coach for next season.
