Darvin Ham says LeBron is still going through his process but he āshouldā be able to play tonight.
Darvin Ham points to Taurean Princeās durability and 3-point shooting, as well as Jarred Vanderbiltās health, as the primary reasons he hasnāt used the teamās starting lineup from last season ā DāAngelo Russell, Austin Reaves, Vanderbilt, LeBron James and Anthony Davis ā more.
oh brother
Vando has been healthy for weeks now he cant keep getting away with this excuse
Ham was asked very bluntly if the Lakers are championship contenders with their current roster:

Prince has had a relationship with Ham since the Hawk days.
That's why he's getting special treatment.
It was always odd how fast Prince signed with this team.
Now I'm guessing it was mainly because Ham recruited him and promised him more minutes than he's use to getting (He averaged 22 mins last year).
Just like he promised Cam would get minutes as long as he played solid defense.
Prince just came back from knee soreness and somehow still played 33 minutes. He's the only one outside of Bron and AD to never get benched. It's clear what's going on.
Cam and Prince are his guys and he's gonna make sure they both get their minutes and get paid next season even if it comes at the expense of the team at times.

i actually liked the prince signing too, until hamas decided to play him 30 mpg
i was thinking that if we trade for a good wing that maybe cam might be out of the rotation, but who are we kidding.
if vando scored like this every game
Austin Reaves is shooting 30.4% from 3 as a starter, and 37.8% as a reserve.
My theory is that this is because Ham is asking too much of Reaves on the defensive end therefore his offense is struggling
Solution: PUT VANDERBILT IN THE F***ING STARTING LINEUP
Vando is unreal man LMAO
Does Ham just close his eyes when Vando is in the game?
Ham finally puts in the lineup that got us to the WCF last year and they now have the biggest lead of the game.
Coincidence?
Vando is unreal man LMAO

According to him, he's not healthy and needs to get in "game shape" lol
The Lakers shot 83.3 percent from the field in the 2nd Q - their best FG% in any quarter this year.
Next Lakers home game isnt until after the deadline
This may be DLOs last game in Crypto arena as a Laker
Appreciate him now while you can
