On May 4, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs are underway, in which Nembhard said, we have learned a lot from this series, and it is really great to be able to win, Damion Lillard revealed that it has been a rollercoaster season, things have not gone as planned, but I am still proud of myself. Just today, the Los Angeles Lakers announced the decision to fire head coach Ham, and the famous basketball player Ma Jian called for a trade for D'Angelo Russell, believing that the latter's role in the first round is not as good as Davis and James.
Due to the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, the battle against the defending champion Denver Nuggets, in the face of Jokic, Porter Jr., Murray, and Pope's all-out efforts, superstars LeBron James and Anthony Davis still couldn't prevent the team from losing, winning the entire series and being eliminated 1-4, missing the opportunity to advance to the second round to compete with the Timberwolves. It should be emphasized that the Los Angeles Lakers announced their decision to fire Ham in order to keep James behind the goal, and then began to look for a head coach who can give the former more help.
It is worth mentioning that the Los Angeles Lakers fired Ham, a relatively fixed head coach, for the following two reasons. First of all, against the Clippers this season, Ham was suspicious, James, Davis, Russell, Reaves, chose not to listen to his method, and relied on himself to defeat Xiaoka, Harden and George, and Westbrook. Secondly, in the playoffs, facing the Nuggets, Malone responded on the spot and applied for challenges in a very timely manner, on the other hand, Hamm, even if James jumped like thunder, he was still as stable as a dog, not challenged, and the tactics did not change, so it was normal to be out.
You must know that in addition to Ham's dismissal, basketball commentator Ma Jian publicly called out general manager Pelinka and female owner Jeanie Bass on his social media, which he said. With the performance of the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round, the first to leave or trade should be D'Angelo Russell, because his left hand, in the entire confrontation with the Denver Nuggets, the performance in the fourth game is not, the guy who plays a tough game is always dangling, Hachimura did not play very well in the first round, but it can be used as a bargaining chip to let general manager Pelinka have one more option when he trades.
Now, with the Los Angeles Lakers in order to be able to keep superstar LeBron James, continue to partner with Anthony Davis, and have the opportunity to impact the championship, the important decision to fire head coach Ham has been officially announced. It should be noted that basketball commentator Ma Jian publicly shouted on social media that general manager Pelinka should be the first to trade D'Angelo Russell in exchange for a more suitable guard to partner James, such as Kyrie Irving or Trae Young.
