Darvin Ham is the new head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, and a lot of people are excited about what he’s going to bring to the organization. However, Hall of Famer Charles Barkley seems to think the hire isn’t going to move the needle for LA He recently explained his thinking of him. \u201cWell I’m glad Darvin got an opportunity ’cause he’s paid his dues,\u201d Barkley said. \u201cHe’s a nice guy. We’ll have to see what kind of coach he is. But listen, if one of your coaches is close to the same age as your players, your team not gonna be any good anyway. The Lakers, they got a serious dilemma on their hands. Their best player’s gonna be 40. Anthony Davis has never been healthy. Obviously, Russ (Russell Westbrook) is gonna be there one more year, so what’s really bad about the situation – next year is gonna be the same as this year. And then LeBron just gonna be a year older, and then they’ll have Russ off the books. “

Unsolicited advice to Darvin Ham: If Russell Westbrook sends you a bottle of champagne to congratulate your new job, for the love of all that is holy, send him a thoughtfully written thank-you note. AK – 3:34 PM<\/a><\/p>\n


\nGary Washburn<\/a> @GwashburnGlobe<\/a><\/p>\n

Ime Udoka’s success is likely to encourage teams to seek first-time head coaches like himself who have played the game and paid their dues as assistants. Darvin Ham may have benefited from this. #Celtics<\/a> #Lakers<\/a> – 12:59 AM<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the last things I said to @Eric Nehm<\/a> on way out of #Bucks<\/a> exit interviews was something like “we get another year before the crazy ‘where does Giannis go next?’ stuff, right? “
