Since becoming the new head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers several weeks ago, Darvin Ham has spoken very positively about Russell Westbrook, and he has even praised the former MVP’s mentality.
It has come in stark contrast to the Lakers’ efforts to trade the triple-double king, as well as the supposed tension between him and LeBron James.
In spite of the team’s roster issues and deficiencies, Ham’s arrival has been a bit of fresh air for the suddenly embattled franchise.
However, while on the All The Smoke podcast, Ham was asked what fans can expect from the Lakers this coming season, and he said something that may sound like a veiling warning to Westbrook.
