Sources tell ESPN that the Lakers dismissed Darvin Ham.
Yes! For me the missed challenge opportunity with Bron was Ham's biggest error in the Nuggets series. The 1 when Bron was so frustrated and the Nuggets got an easy basket.
Replacing Ham is a welcome improvement but it doesn't solve all the Lakers' issues.
They need a consistent scorer aside from AD and Bron. Ideally this scorer will be their top scorer. AD will be the 2nd scorer. Bron will be the 3rd.
They need a better 2nd unit. They'll provide some scoring and defense while AD and Bron are resting. Right now the roster is clearly shallow.
Of course, assuming that Bron will stay.
