Lakers new head coach Ham has taken up the post. Recently it was revealed that he has communicated with Westbrook , which has allowed Westbrook to regain his confidence.
Westbrook: "We have a new coaching staff. We will perform well together next season. Neither I personally nor our entire team will make the same mistakes again."
Ham's head coach's style and Wo Geer is different. He is a solid and steady head coach who pays attention to the team's defense. He does not want the players to score difficult goals, but needs to play steadily and does not belong to the head coach with a flashy style of play.
Westbrook and Vogel also had conflicts last season. If Ham can really bring improvements on the defensive end to the team, then the Lakers may be better than last season, but Lao James and Westbrook They are no longer at their peak, and if they are now asked to defend forcefully, they will inevitably sacrifice their energy on the offensive end.
The failure to trade for Irving is the biggest setback for the Lakers this season, because they really need a superstar who can share the pressure on offense or defense for them. If they continue to move forward with the lineup from last season, I believe no matter which one they change It is difficult for a head coach to change the inherent flaws of the Lakers.
