The season of Lakers ended ingloriously. THE shutout by the Nuggets 4-1 in the first round of the playoffs sends the LA team into an early vacation and at the same time signals developments in the organization.
According to Sams Sarania, the position of coach Darwin Hamm is extremely precarious, as – as he reports – some shareholders consider it extremely unlikely that he will return for a second season on the bench.
Despite the team’s improvement in the second half of the season, the Lakers were unable to capitalize on the outstanding presence of LeBron James and Anthony Davis and were eliminated by Denver for the second year in a row, despite was ahead in 165:24 of the 240 minutes of matches (69%) and they lost two games on shots at the end by Jamal Murray.
Beyond the matter of the coach, there are also several question marks about the roster. THE Lebron James he has an option of his own to continue for another year for $51 million and he is not likely to leave. Asked if he played his last game with the Lakers, the 39-year-old superstar replied “I won’t answer that,” with the team intent on acquiring his son, Bronnie James, to fulfill his dream of playing with him before he retires.
They are bound by contracts Anthony Davis, Rui Hachimura, Austin Reeves, Gabe Vincent and Jared Vanderbilt. D’Angelo Russell has his own option for another year with 18.6 million dollars, while Christian Wood, Jackson Hayes and Cam Reddys also have their own option with small amounts. On the contrary, they remain free Spencer Dinwiddie and Torin Prince.
