The Los Angeles Lakers fallout with their former coach Darvin Ham has been a well known incident. Having coached the men in purple and yellow, Ham was sacked from the team’s head coach position recently.
However, the dust did not seem to settle down as a viral tweet caught the attention of all the Lakers fans as well as of those who were closely monitoring the Ham firing.

The Lakers Are Yet to Finalize Their Head Coach
The Los Angeles Lakers' ongoing head coach search has been on a run ever since they fired Darvin Ham earlier in the spring.
With rumors circulating around multiple well known coaching candidates and some of the unexpected ones like JJ Redick, the Lakers have yet to finalize a decision amidst the urgency to make a franchise-altering choice.
Lakers’ General manager Rob Pelinka and the whole organization might face a jumble in securing a head coach who can both satisfy LeBron James and elevate the team to championship contention status.
But, it is not a mere choice to make, as there has been a lot happening in the NBA that might have something to do with their job. The recent unexpected firing of J.B. Bickerstaff from the Cleveland Cavaliers might put up an altogether different viewpoint.
Candidates like Kenny Atkinson and James Borrego, who were already in the running for the Lakers' vacancy, are now intertwined with the potential coaching options for the Cavaliers as well.
Atkinson's past coaching connections with players like Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen, combined with the emerging interest in Sam Cassell from Cleveland, create a scenario where the competition for coaching talent is heightened.
The overlap in coaching candidates across the Lakers and Cavaliers could lead to intensified competition in securing the most suitable head coach for each team.
