Things have been brewing internally at the Lakers recently, with the management of men by coach Darvin Ham being particularly singled out by D’Angelo Russell. The playmaker has added a layer and the portrait he paints of the Californians is not glorious…

Still in the battle for an automatic place in the playoffs, the Lakers do not need any distraction at the end of the regular season. Except that the opposite is currently happening for the Purples and Golds, particularly internally. Already singled out by fans and observers, coach Darvin Ham also alienated some of his men as the campaign progressed.

Then I showed up here and apart from Bron, no one speaks. I thought, “What the hell,” and it was from there that I started to speak up, that my basketball IQ came to light.

A new ultra-scathing admission from D-LO and which further undermines some of the supposed leaders of the franchise, Anthony Davis for example, but also his coach with whom the flow really does not flow.

It wasn’t fair to Westbrook. Ham was messing around with his guard rotations and no one questioned this guy.

D’Angelo Russell will perhaps alienate a few people with these resounding outings on Darvin Ham, but he only highlights the failings of the Lakers coach. And they are all the more annoying as the Purples and Golds are aiming for the title…
