In this turbulent NBA season, the Lakers were like a ship rocking in the stormy seas, and finally failed to withstand the impact of fate and were eliminated by the Nuggets with a 1-4 record. Like a tragic drama, the fate of the Lakers has become confusing under the gaze of everyone.

Woj talked about Lakers head coach Ham on the live show, and his words were like bombshells that shook the entire basketball world. "Ham's future with the Lakers is very uncertain, and the Lakers had ample opportunity to publicly announce that Ham would continue as their coach or privately reassure him, but none of that happened," Woj said. The news swept through the Lakers' locker room like a cold wind, leaving everyone feeling unprecedented pressure.

In the face of doubts and criticism from the outside world, Hamm unabashedly expressed his dissatisfaction and helplessness in an interview. He publicly blamed the players for their lack of fighting spirit and team spirit, arguing that their performance was a big part of the Lakers' loss. Hamm's words were filled with anger and disappointment, and he no longer had any scruples about his relationship with the players, and he was relentless in pointing out their problems.

"It's an extreme challenge," Ham said, "and everybody is in and out of the rotation, and I don't have a healthy roster, but I'm going to be criticized for not creating a consistent rotation. It frustrates me, I love the job, I love the pressure that comes with it, I've been calm in the chaos...... But when people talk about my performance, it's as if they have lost common sense. What would you do if you were a coach and one of your starters played like for about ten games in a row?" Hamm's words revealed a kind of helplessness and sadness, and he felt that he could not control his fate and could only allow the outside world to blame and criticize him to push him into the abyss.

Obviously, the starter in Ham's mouth is Russell, who did not perform well for a long time in the middle of the season, and was even relegated to the bench, and did not find his form until the end of the regular season and returned to the starting lineup.

At the same time, trade proposals for the Lakers' future began to surface. According to a joint article by The Athletic's Shams Charania, Jovan Buha and Sam Amick, Trae Young has become one of the Lakers' key targets in the offseason. The promising young point guard has excellent scoring and playmaking skills and is seen as an important part of the Lakers' rebuild.

And according to Forbes Sports reporter Evan Sidery, the Lakers could pay the price of three first-round picks in the next three in order to get Trae Young, including 2024/25, 2029 and 2031 picks. In addition, Reeves could also be part of the deal. This plan is undoubtedly a huge investment in the future of the Lakers, who hope to improve the overall strength of the team by bringing in Trae Young and lay a solid foundation for future games.

However, all of this movement and trading does not seem to have anything to do with Hamm. His fate seems to have been sealed, and the end of class seems to have become an unchangeable fact. In the face of all this, Ham chose to publicly blame the players, using this way to express his dissatisfaction and helplessness. His actions may cause some controversy and criticism, but in these times of change and uncertainty, everyone has their own way and right to express their voice.

In this turbulent NBA season, the fate of the Lakers is destined to be full of twists and turns and uncertainties. Regardless of Hamm's fate in the end, he has become one of the most controversial and talkative figures of the season. And the future of the Lakers will also be more uncertain because of this series of trades and changes. In this era of challenges and opportunities, only those who dare to face and embrace change can ultimately succeed.
