The first thing most of the\u00a0Los Angeles Lakers\u00a0faithful did after their squad got bounced in the NBA Playoffs yet again was hurl vitriol toward someone. Who was at the receiving end of comments that insisted that they get fired? Well, it was\u00a0Darvin Ham. From comments about being lost delivered by\u00a0Anthony Davis\u00a0to\u00a0LeBron James\u00a0being defiant, one can see why the collapse could be his fault. But,\u00a0Draymond Green\u00a0sees the situation differently.<\/p>\n

\"Anthony<\/p>\n

Don’t fire him<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Golden State Warriors\u00a0forward argues that there is not a singular person responsible for how horrid the Lakers play. This squad should be able to take the blame collectively from LeBron James, and Anthony Davis, to the rest of the squad until ownership. Draymond Green outlined\u00a0why giving Darvin Ham\u00a0the boot would just be\u00a0an odd move\u00a0to kickstart the Lakers’ offseason, via The Volume.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it’d be wrong to fire him. He’ll catch a lot of flak for the season that they had but their roster didn’t get better than last year and they were a play-in team. Yeah, they made it to the Conference Finals with LeBron James and Anthony Davis playing the way that they were playing but they didn’t get better,\u201d the Warriors legend declared.<\/p>\n

Last season, the Lakers finished the regular season sitting seventh in the Western Conference standings. They had the 20th-ranked offensive rating that clocks in at 114.5 and a defensive rating ranked 11th at 113.9 value. There was not much that changed in the personnel, schemes, and even in their rotations. So, the league caught up to them.<\/p>\n

The Lakers then finished eighth this year. Their offensive rating got better at 115.9 which propelled them to have the 15th ranking. On the other side of the floor, the defensive execution of the LeBron James and Anthony Davis-led squad got worse. They dipped all the way to 16th and had a 115.3 rating.<\/p>\n

Lakers didn’t move the needle too much<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Green does not only think that they ran\u00a0nearly the same Lakers squad\u00a0back from last year. He also posits that the squad lost key rotational players in the point guard spot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey lost Dennis Schroder. I don’t think they replaced him well. Gabe Vincent didn’t bring anything to the season. Obviously, he was hurt,\u201d he added about the Lakers’ point guard conundrum.<\/p>\n

So, the conclusion was quite simple for Green. Ham did not have much to work with anyway. This meant that there may be blame to go around but it should not solely be on the Lakers head honcho. He even blasted the fans calling for the coach’s firing after they got eliminated in the NBA Playoffs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t think the roster got better but you expected better results. But, everybody would blame Darvin Ham like it’s his fault. Is it really? Hopefully, they don’t just fire Darvin like it’s his fault and no one else’s fault. I think that’s garbage,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

The Lakers have yet again entered a lengthy offseason. Will they use it to get better and be propelled into a higher seed in the NBA Playoffs next year?<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n
